Default zetec turbo (budget build)

up until the last few days i had only een considering n/a tuning for my 1.8 silvertop zetec but as i was about to spend roughly 1k on the engine over the coming month it has daunted on me to maybe turbo it.

i think i could do the conversion myself if anything get a lil bit of help for the tricky bits.

i have searched the net for 2 days solid looking up info.

this would be a budget build and i would like 200-220 bhp how much would i be looking at to do this i am roughly looking to spend no more than 1k.

i am unsure what bhp my 1.8 silvertop is running its standard apart from a k and n induction with cold air feed.( will give ford the engine number to get the exact details on the engine in my car.)



what inlet system am i best off using?
what exhaust manifold?
what turbo?
management (ofab---ofac))(how does this connect to my current 1.8 loom is it direct plug in???)
What connects to the inlet to turbo (amal valve or anything like this i.e any thing u can think of?)
decomp plate supplier????
head gasket(st170 one??????)
oil feed from pressure plate/switch on rear of block am i correct????
oil return to be fitted to top of my sump?

relocate breather???????? from bottom of block to rear or somewhere else where????????

is there a chip available off the shelf if i ring a company up and gave them my specs?

cams 2.0 cam for inlet and 1.6 90 spec one for exhaust? or just stick with current standard cams?

injectors?????/ fuel rail??????????


what would be safe boost?
