  2. Focus ST Mk2 Non Technical Discussion
    My st 225 is stock at the moment, just wondering if it is worth buying a aftermarket dump valve, will it be beneficial to my car or is the stock one sufficient, obviously the sound would be better but for the hassle and cost is it worth it?

  5. Mk2 Turbo & Intercooler
