It can be done I would of thought, I don't know how much work is involved though.

The early Mondeo/Focus had the exact same FI engine.

You won't be running that much boost, so I wouldn't have thought ic size is a problem, if at all.

Default Fitting a turbo

cheers for reply martin the van is a bit gutless and needs more power i was thinking of bigger injectors and turning the the fuel pump as well but a turbo wont be that much work only pipe work and the bigger the ic the the better i ve done a bit of work on the older escorts mainly petrols so diesels are not my strong point.

They are well known for it, I woulden't bother altering the pump timing, I really don't think it will do anything.
