Default Pinto turbo conversion

Hello everybody!

I have a 18 years old Ford Sierra 2.0is that have done about 320.000 km.
In the las year I have realised that it has decreased its power, and the downpipe has a little crack. I think it's time to tune the engine, and I would like to do something more powerful than the standard one.

On the other hand, I recently have bought a 3dr Cosworth (stage 3), and I felt in love with turbos.

I have seen some Pinto turbo conversions in the net, and I want -I need- to do something like those. I'm from Spain, and here is not easy neither cheap to find tune parts for the Pinto. A turbo conversion could be the easiest way to gain a lot of power if I coudn't find other parts.

In addtion, I want the car for road use, so I canīt fit carburettors in order to be legal at the Tecnical Inspection. It could be possible to do a turbo conversion with no more than 30% power gain, keeping EFI injection and increase boost pressure after that. A Cosworth YB conversion would be much more than 30% power gain, so the legal process is a lot more difficult in this case.

I need a lot of help! Every information, documentation, experience, oppinion or stuff to do the conversion will be welcomed!!


EDITED: I'm very sorry! My English is very bad!
