Default Help Building zetec turbo

Hi Guys new to the site first post and everything.

Finding it hard to search for any 1.8 zetec turbo conversion's for Fiesta MK5 zetec s. Everybody seems to be heading towards the puma conversion. I've scoped out the 1.8 lump out of a focus. i have listed a few stuff i need, wanted to know if these are Necessary or have l left anything out?
2mm/3mm Decompression Plate
2 new head gaskets
Rover turbo inlet manifold/ adapter plate from Ferriday engineering
Frst Management OFAB Loom
Frst gearbox with LSD from Erst
focus RS exhaust manifold or RS turbo

Brief break down

Cheers

Maybe you might search for this conversion in a MK3 Fiesta or MK5 Escort first. And forget that decomp plate. Use proper pistons instead!

I have already purchased the 2mm decom plate, but regards to using proper pistons which one’s should be used in this case of getting over 190ish BHP. How far could you go on standard pistons??
Was just double checking about the injectors to use and what mounts, would they need to be custom made?

Cheers
