MS3 turbo VS Focus ST Turbo

[Zai_MS3]

HI Guys,

is there a difference in size between the two?
im assuming the ST Turbo is bigger cos of the 5 potter, would it work/spool faster/boost and hold boost better than the speed3s?

I do not know the size, but Ford has a contract w/ Borg Warner to only use thier turbos. MS3 = K04 Borg Warner Turbo, ST = ??? Borg Warner Turbo

focus st makes less power, doesn't it? so that could mean smaller turbo, less boost, or who knows what else.

i wouldn't assume that the focus st has a bigger turbo. they might have put a smaller one on there so that there's less power but a faster spool. bigger engine + smaller turbo = less power + less lag + (BUT) more driveable.

smaller turbo doesnt always mean less power.

yeah, size doesn't matter, ladies, I SWEAR.
