ok so ive never posted on forums ever in my life and a noob and i apologize if there was a post about this before or on the same lines i know it makes people irritable and i can understand that.....
so i brought a 2013 ford focus ST it has 44K miles on it on the 3RD of January of 2017 and blew up on the 7th of January of 2017 i know it had been modded however i wasn't really sure on the full list.. what i know is cobb piping/MAF delete? and i was told a racing cat converter (from a guy who knows a lot about performance mods) could be wrong though and also a corsa exhaust but after seeing all that i imagine a tune as well. before it blew up it was like cut out or misfiring at full throttle at around 3 ish RPM's give or take but i think it was loosing fuel but obviously not 100% however it was running a hefty 24PSI on the guage at low RPMS 3K or below ish give or take and when your in the higher RPM's 4K ish give or take it would run at 19PSI. i havnt had it for a while enough to know a things i should. but obviously i knew it had a tune. but it blew when i was going around 30 MPH ish i gunned it because my brother was in my old stang driving by me, it puttered puttered/ misfired misfired and it gave out... a ford dealership replaced the turbo due to oil leaking on the turbo they replaced the turbo o rings lines (receipt in the focus that is at my work on what they fully did) but it blew smoke when they replaced the turbo then ordered another turbo and it was fine. it was covered under warranty. also i'm not sure if the tune was bad or if the fuel pump is going bad or if people have had this problem good news is the turbo is alright after inspecting the fins on the exhaust side with a bore-scope. so my question is what kind of internals does the stock engine have? what are the typical problems does this particular motor has? should i forged pistons and rods? is the fuel system for gas only becuase it says somthing about E20 or somthing in the fuel filler what kind of fuel system does it have?..... i do have a video on my phone of it doing what it did but not long,but you can hear it do what I'm talking about and also not sure how to add it because i have no idea around forums lol ... if you need more info let me know ill answer to the best of my knowledge even if i sound dumb.thank you for your time reading
