you'll find there arent many ppl who do these conversions. the best bet is to speak to a respectable tuning company that deal with turbo'd motors.

Prepare to shell out some big money!!!!

But it does give the zetec a lot of power my 1.8 is turbo'd and not much can do it of the lights, although i strongly recomend before the turbo come

Brakes + braided lines
Suspension
Bigger wheels + high class tyres
Strut brace front and rear

Because the torque is so monster it twists the front and gives you marjor torque steer and stupid wheel spin pulling off, changing gear etc...

Do you have any idea what 178.8mph feels like in a Fiesta? 2000 lb of pressure per square inch per second pushing back on your face. It feels like god himself is trying to rip the skin off your skull while someone lands a 747 on your chest.
