BNR Turbos have come a long way in the last few years. During this time, it's been common to compare them to a bolt-on ATP turbo setup. They're very similar in actual functionality at the end of the day. I have always been a proponent of the ATP turbos. I personally had the first ever bolt-on style GTX3071 for a Mazdaspeed on my '08 MS3 which I installed in August of 2011. That turbo is still running around putting out 380whp on the guy’s car (twin-charged MS3) who I sold it to when I upgraded in 2012 to an HTA3586. It is now going on six years old, and if that doesn’t speak to the quality of ATP/Garrett turbos, I don’t know what does.

There are a lot of people that buy a performance car with the immediate intention of modifying it and having fun. However some people are more concerned with maintaining the complete factory warranty and are therefore more cautious when it comes to modifying their car. There is nothing wrong with either approach and it really just comes down to personal preference. But for those of you who want to modify your car without running into any warranty issues, you should keep reading.

A few clutches have been released for the Ford Focus ST starting several months after the car was released but ACT hadn't shown much development for this platform, until now. We figured they had something a little different planned with how long it took to get a clutch out for this popular platform and it turns out we were right. Here's what you need to know about ACT's new Ford Focus ST clutch kits.

Most people in Mazdaspeed 3 and 6 aftermarket community are well aware of the turbo manifold that CP-E offers in multiple configurations. Since it's release a few years ago, it has been available as an independent manifold outside of the turbo kit it was originally designed around with 3 different flange options. All being stock location setups, it's available with the Tial V-Band turbine housing flange, the Precision V-Band flange, and the very popular stock turbo flange for many bolt on style turbo upgrades.

It doesn’t take a lot of ownership time with the new FA20DIT powered 2015 and 2016 WRX to decide that there will be some modifications in your future. Not because the car is boring or needs improvement but because of how much fun it is to pull more power and torque and thus, more fun out of your new WRX. But not everyone has an unlimited budget for mods. For those of you like myself, who are plagued with responsibilities such as rent and food that are marginally more important than modding your WRX, you may be asking; What are the most important Performance parts for your 2015 or 2016 WRX?

If you've found yourself itching to modify your Ford Focus ST, there is tons of information out there on the subject and you may have learned plenty already. If you don't know already, the Focus ST responds very well to mods. But generally speaking, it only responds well to mods if you can tune for them. This is because the Focus ST’s ECU can learn and adjust to compensate for increased air flow. So if you are about to step out on the road to modifying your Focus ST, here are a few suggestions to help you get the most out of it.
