Why would you want to swap the engine out of a brand new car ?

I'm with Adam.

Your real anser is whatever you can afford, although your best options on the new model Focus are probably a 3.0 V6 out of an Escape perhaps?

you can always mod your current engine to say about 280-330 bhp. thats alot of power. why you want to go turbo. thats just weird. sell me your old engine for $500. teehee
