Treadstone turbo kit with a Turbonetics GTK450 ceramic ball bearing turbocharger, front mount intercooler, Greddy blow off valve, Turbonetics wastegate, and an Apexi AFC Neo controller. All told, it adds up to 270 dyno-proven wheel horsepower on 7 psi of boost.
The autocross performance of the turbo is really starting to become competitve. At the last …

Yeah, a real Q-ship.
I've now owned this car for almost 3 years and have put about 30,000 street and autocross miles on it. The biggest repair was having to replace the center section of the turbo when an oil seal went bad. Its been a wonderful ride, both thrilling and reliable. My plan was to keep it for 5 years, but I might have to go longer than that. What in the world could I replace it with? What is reasonably priced, can do 0-60 in 5 seconds flat, gets 26 mpg in town, is a competitive autocrosser, can carry 4 people comfortably, and is a reliable daily driver?
Well, I'm now at 4 1/2 years of ownership, and I've actually found a car that can replace it - the Ford Focus RS. I'm planning to get one as soon as they come out in the spring, so the Spec V will be for sale at that time. Watch the classifieds!
