Ah new wheel and port for $750? hahah that is cheap. I think they wanted 1400 for my SS.

What exactly turbo is this? It looks like a k04, but is it a twin scroll?

Modified Stock Turbo

2. Slstomper (91oct) 300/370
3. smokinhot 273/330

Highest HP Focus ST's

If you really want to keep that stock setup...it "may" be worth it, I am not sure on cost..... Just saw this the other day and remembered.

So 650$ mmmm problem is your still using a k03. I'm curious if the 2.3 twin scroll k04 would bolt up. I know one or both are built right into the exhaust manifold

So still in "beta" testing and not for the general public as it is still being tested by users. Sometimes doing a bigger wheel helps but yeah, you'll need tuning. I can see this as feasible maybe in a year, but for the cost...mmmm maybe. Depends how badly you want/need to stay on the stock turbo. Once upgrading the stock turbo with a bigger wheel, and more boost, I'd worry about the bearings going out sooner as you are flowing more than what the stock map is. Given doing this sort of mod, you should expect odd issues like that

In the end, what is the goal? a 300hp escape? I'd think a slightly larger turbo swap would be better/easier/much more power. I think the engine can handle it, it is just what is bolted on isn't realistically supporting the power people want.

What about the turbo on the Lincoln MKC? That is a 2.3.

It is the same as the mustang.

Looks like the 2.0 has a smaller hole in the exhaust manifold for the turbo. with the exhaust manifold built into the head it makes it...ugh

Does the 2.0 ecoboost in our escape not have twin scroll? I was under the impression it did.....but now I'm thinking it doesn't. If so...we would need to do the same as the focust ST and just get their kits.

EDIT: freakin a, the "new" 2.0 EB in the new edge and then newer 2016 models will have twin scroll TC, but the new 2.0 has nothing to do with the current gen. Ugh I bet they went k04 in that too.

Sadly our turbo isn't twin scroll

Yeah you are right. And after looking more, the new 2.0 next gen ecoboost is not twin scroll either. Looks to be the same K03 as well.

Well there is the manifold extension piece that allows a new turbo, otherwise you could do the bigger wheel stock upgrade...But we are still automatic trans... :/
