get a foucs rs engine , or build one theres loads of places about that sell pistons for the 2.0ltr zetec silver and black top, turbo t3 or t34 ? frount mount cooler , fiesta si wiring loom or fiesta turbo depends on ecu , can use fiesta turbo ofab or use mega squirt something along them lines, escort turbo gear box with lsd , if you really wanna play try a st170 box but ur need fab work to get it in, and custom drive sharfts list is sorta endless all depends on what you would like to spend lol
