Turbo Installation Instructions

Model: Ford Focus MK 2, Focus 2 - Years 2004-2011
Part: Turbocharger

Turbo failure is a fairly common fault, especially after a certain mileage. If you need to install a new turbo (it is also advisable to choose a refurbished one), it is essential to have the appropriate fitting kit, which includes new gaskets, studs, copper nuts, and a syringe of lubricating oil. Start by applying the new gasket to the lubrication duct, then to the exhaust manifold, those for the connecting duct, and finally the studs and gasket on the exhaust duct flange (all nuts must be tightened with a torque wrench). Then insert the oil to ensure that the turbo is lubricated from the first start.

Installation of Upgraded Intercooler Radiator with Pipes

Lift the vehicle on suitable axle stands, remove the front wheels, and then the front bumper and grille. Proceed to remove the front headlights; drain the coolant, remove the intercooler radiator and the hoses connecting it to the intake system. Position the new intercooler radiator in the grille, temporarily securing it with cable ties, and mark with a marker the part of the metal that needs to be removed to allow the new hoses to pass through. Cut the marked portion of metal and apply a gasket to the edge. Remove the inner cover of the bumper and position it near the radiator to identify any interfering parts to eliminate: again, apply a gasket to the edge of the cut. Create brackets for securing the new radiator and proceed with the installation of the connecting pipes from the radiator to the intake, shaping and connecting them appropriately. Finally, reassemble the bumper, headlights, and grille.
