Most costly if you're stupid enough to go to Ford. They only sold complete turbos, when all it needed was a £200 actuator. Many of the actuators could actually be fixed with a bit of soldering.
The injectors/pumps were more problematic than the turbo believe me!

If your mate worked for Ford, he should know that they are completely different cars with no shared components, so not sure how he came to that conclusion.

No, that's a still a different engine. The 2.2 in the Mk3 Mondeo and Jaguar is the Ford built 'Puma' engine. The 2.2 in the Mk4 Mondeo (and Peugeots and Citroens) is a PSA built DW12 engine. They share the same capacity, but that's all!
