Hey everyone, I want to know if anyone has any input of performance parts?

For example; Turbo kit, Supercharger, Intake system, Exhaust system(no fart cans please).

I know that there is a mazda that its similar to the 2.3 fusion engine wise, so i was wondering, can i purchase a K&N filter or the whole CAI?

And how bout for the forced induction; is there any turbos or superchargers out there??

as far as bolt on stuff, im really not sure, but we have been getting GREAT reviews on our Performance Tuning for the ford fusion. 2.3 and six cylinder alike!

There isn't much out there right now for the Fusion 2.3 - not even a K&N filter or a CAI. You could probably make a Mazda / Focus 2.3 header work with a custom cat-back. Some are using home-made CAI's with success after trial and error, but your best bet is to just get a good tune. I doubt that the Focus cams will work since our cars use a variable timing cam on the intake side. If you are looking for the kind of power a turbo or SC would give you, you would be better off with just buying a Mazdaspeed 6 or the upcoming Mazdaspeed 3. You would probably blow the tranny with a turbo on this car anyway. I really like the performance tuner I purchased from Bob. It is something that makes an immediate and noticable difference and only takes a few minutes to download to your ECU, so you can put it back to stock if you ever need any type of warranty work.

The tuning sounds good. Did you see any gas mileage difference?

And where can I get this tuner??

The 87 octane performance tune and the 91 octane performance tune yield about 1 mpg better than stock. The 91 octane torque tune gives equal to or slightly less than stock mpg depending upon how you drive. City driving = about 1 mpg less with the torque tune, highway = about the same. The tuner comes with all 3 tunes. I ordered mine through Bob Jusness. You can click on his name to access his website / email address.
