I'm not really after a power figure, i just want to build it and see what it makes, i'll be happy no matter what, and if there's less lag then that's better. That's why i thought of a smaller turbo.

1.8 zetec with FRS ex manifold (designed to work with T25), management, custom inlet (undecided yet), 2litre inlet cam (as recommended on here), maybe minor headwork depending on price. that's kinda the rough outline in my head.

Budget is the big one really with so much to spend on the rest of the car and not much spare cash around usually. Everything has to be cheap as chips, i know people bang on about budget for 1K or summat, but why not budget for everything to be as cheap as possible and i'll have more fun. a cab doesn't need big power.
