Default Advice needed

Ok people

I have recently aquired a 1.8 zetec engine and b4 you say y use the the 1.8 it was £50 and ive been told its easier to do than the 2.0.....

Now my cars of the road as the box is fooked, so i figured it can stay off the road for now whilst I do the engine build.....

Im looking for around 220-230bhp

Looked in to it a little and have discovered that the crank,rods and head will all be fine for this power figure? without being changed...

I would like a nice drivable motor with a good mix of turbo/engine power....Not reliaing of hugh boost

What sort of pistons and cr do I need to run? I know you can get these from usa.....any ideas where from?
Ideas on turbo choice?
Management ?
Clutch?
Will a stage 1 box be enough to handle say 230ft/lb torque

Any help, ideas, advice or links would be very much appreciated

Eyes peeled for the project !!


Cheers
