Default Advice - Reliable 350bhp 2.0ltr Ford Duratec/Zetec Setup?

Hi,
I am after some advice, I am a Vauxhall man so do not know what the best route is to get a reliable 350bhp from a ford engine.

Story is a friend of mine has a Tiger Kit car with a 2.0ltr Ford Duratec with Throttlebodies and hes not happy with 180bhp an wants more.
Now we are happy to remove the engine and maybe swop for a Zetec etc

I just need a insite and maybe a list of how people would do this OR have done it?

We looked at supercharger TTS kit BUT they will not do a 350bhp kit as a bolt on, as we may aswell build an engine with a turbo.......

As for budget well the TTS kit was 4k so not shy aslong as its right.........

Any advice welcome

Thanks

A standard turbo will give you this with the right mods and a live map.

Nothing over the top really.

Nortech Mani
Milltek turbo back
Cpe relocation filter (behind the headlight)
Airtec cooler
Forge actuator
Sabre live map

Before the map and actuator it made 255bhp..

Now it's running approx 340/350bhp at 22/23psi, the map really made the car come alive

Gotta remember guys that the kit car won't be running frs management very easily, its would be a lot easier with standalone management.
