I'm having a 2.1 zetec turbo built by a friend but if you want a heads up as it were then take a look here for details on how to build one, another variation that can get good results is the ZVH Turbo conversion, this is an awesome guide to building one
Power engineering come highly recomended by the Ford Focus Owners Club

Its for a 1998 1800cc Escort zetec.
I was thinking about putting a turbo on if not too expensive

If it's any interest, I believe Webcon (sunbury on Thames) can supply a 225bhp non turbo package for the Zetec Very reputable company. Not sure on costs may be some clues on their website?
Keep us posted.
