i'd say it might just be possible if you hunt for the odd bargain. depends on what power your after though and if you go the decomp route or buy pistons. if its going higher boost you will prob need rods too(focus rs or ST170), focus rs manifold or go modded rs turbo escort route, fiesta turbo exhaust,an intercooler and pipework. management will prob be an issue for you as there is a few options fiesta turbo, cossie or aftermarket..all will need mapped properly for best results. a rebuilt escort rs turbo(rebuilt before you fit it).....EBAY WILL BECOME YOUR FRIEND LOL. is any of your mates into rs turbos cossies etc?
