TheChosenWon Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Personally; no. But I can totally see the interest in such a product for the Fusion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowman1 Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I would likely not be interested, but that doesn't mean I don't think you shouldn't do it. My car is a family car more or less...we use it as a backup for the minivan when I don't want to drive it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gt2378b Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Since the V6 only comes with an automatic, I'm not interested. I would certainly get one for the I4, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallbigtall Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I'm holding my wallet for when a ~$3,000 turbo kit comes out for the I4. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lammer Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I'm going with a no... It's a lease, if I want a get up and go car... it'll be the Mustang. If I wanted a suped-up sedan... I'd go with the Charger. ...I'm not big on Turbos 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weiweishen Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 It depends on how much it will cost. I really have interest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertlane Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I could see a market for this. I think turbos are coming back into fashion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

furious1auto Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I'm aware that Ford contracted with MRT to build a turbo for the 3.0. They also contracted with Draxas to build modify a Mazdaspeed6 turbo to fit the Fusion I4 2.3. If Ford built an I4 Turbo I will buy it. Also if FPD (Ford Performance Development) would build an the Stylist body kit I would also buy it!!! here is the sight! Link 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wkienzle Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 If they come out with one for the 2.3 I'd buy it Same here; 2.3L Turbo is the thing. Maybe I should see what I can come up with from the Mazda parts department ;-) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDiddy Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Mine is a lease as well, but in 4 years if my son buys it - he may want a turbo. I really like the V6 AWD SEL the way it is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furious1auto Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Same here; 2.3L Turbo is the thing. Maybe I should see what I can come up with from the Mazda parts department ;-) Well the advantage to the I4, at this point is that it's the only motor option with a manual shift transmission. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEWSEi4Owner Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 IMO, adding the Turbo/intercooler without doing anything to the rest of the car to handle the additional power is senseless. I would much rather see a Fusion GT - 4 cylinder Turbo/Intercooled with the 5 speed and tuned suspension/tire/rims and a bit of an appearance pkg to take away the plain jane appearance. A factory kit would have been my preferred choice. While my Fusion is a commuter, a little more fun and get up and go for passing would be nice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cpovey Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 My feelings are similar to those of NEWSEi4Owner: "I would much rather see a Fusion GT - 4 cylinder Turbo/Intercooled with the 5 speed and tuned suspension/tire/rims and a bit of an appearance pkg to take away the plain jane appearance. A factory kit would have been my preferred choice. " Ditto the above, excpet with a turbo, I would prefer a 6-speed. For me, I would prefer that most of the apperance package be optional-I prefer a stealth car. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
