Default Mods for XR5 turbo

Hi guys

the missus is getting a Focus XR5. What mods can you do to them? I see xforce have released an exhaust for them. Anything else? What power do they run at the wheels stock?

Default Re: Mods for XR5 turbo

OK on here you wont get much info but on the above 2 forums you will.
Ive had mine for 18mths
So far
Dreamscience Tune
RARB
Intake and top pipe.
Boost hoses.
Intercooler.
Cat back Exhaust
Various other bits.
Standard they are 125-130kw atw.
I see X Force have released an exhaust but IMHO i stick with whats proven ie something from the UK in regards to exhaust
-Miltek
-Mongoose
-Cobra
-Ferrita
-Dreamscience

Tuning there is a few different options, often end up with the custom vs generic debate.
I know a lot of 5's that are running generic tunes (mine inc) and there is no issues, Dreamscience being the most popular as they are tried and proven.
Other mods like a quaife LSD they are pricey but at about $1100 plus postage then fitting aswell.
Suspension ie springs, some go coilovers but if you lower, rear camber arms are a must.
Cosmetic aswell, painting grills, wheels, wings, mirrors etc.

Any questions ill try my best to answer.
