Hi,

Iv seen a few threads and few companies that have turbo'd the 1.8 blacktop zetec focus and was interested in looking into this myself.

Iv been told i can safely run up to 200bhp on std internals which interests me. Im not looking to spend stupid money on a turbo conversion as it would end up been cheaper to just buy a faster std car.

Iv been told the escort rs turbo manifold and turbo can be used as a cheaper option, not sure if anyone has done this?

My questions are:
- is it worth doing using the ERST manifold/turbo?
- will i need aftermarket management or can i just map my std ecu?
- is std inlet manifold ok? Will i need uprated injectors?
- any other parts need uprating? (iv currently got full exhaust/induction/cam mods)
- will my gearbox be ok running that power? if not wot other options are there?
- what sort of costs would the parts cost and rough idea on fittin costs/time?

Im also going to upgrade my brakes if i do this as well.

If there is anything else i need know i would appreciate it.

Iv also emailed a few tuners as well to get some info, but wouldnt mind unbiased info as well

Thanks
