i think something like a bolt on gtx2867 would be nice on that engine .. it seems that the car runs out of injectors around 250bhp but the focus injectors (and upgraded injectors) might be compatible..
having a bigger turbo means more efficiency but also colder intake charge temps which means that we could possibly run on the stock intercooler without any issues as long as the airflow is decent ..
i'm wondering if ATP turbo will make something for FiST owners

Here's a picture of the stock turbo.. i don't know if this is a known flange type but im pretty sure we can find adapters for this and the exhaust flange seems to be a 3 bolt flange also

Generally a limiting factor in generating power out of direct injection motor, isn't the in tank fuel pump, but the HPFP attached on the engine. It doesn't have traditional injectors....

i dont know about the fiesta fuel pump but they sell upgraded injectors for the focus so i would guess they went the same way for the 1.6

well i wouldn't mind a turbo spooling a tad later .. it's pretty cool to have instant torque but when driving slowly in town honestly i'd prefer staying off boost and get better fuel economy... when i has my gencoupe i saw big inprovements in fuel economy when upgrading for a bigger turbo just because i was able to keep it off boost in the city

Hi David,

Thanks for contacting us.

For sure, we are working on turbo upgrade options for the Fiesta ST. We've been in development mode on this platform for a few months now so turbo upgrade options will not be a problem.

We just released 4 new turbo upgrades for the Focus ST with at least another half dozen coming in a few weeks.

The Fiesta ST platform will get similar treatment from us.

Thanks for bringing the demand for this application to light for us.

We appreciate it.
