Hope your pockets are deep then.

Please don't put a kit on. 90% of non factory kits look utter wank

You're going to need to do a lot of phoning around to find somebody willing to take the work on. It WILL be expensive (as in very) due to the work being very specialised and most parts needing fabrication.

I wouldn't expect the car back for a lo-ng time either.

not heard of any1 doing this yet. so not worth it in my opinion

why bother doing that to a brand new car anyway. goodbye to any warramty left on that, lol

if you want a turbo, buy a car with a turbo as standard

For the sort of cash you could easily get a Focus RS and use the wealth of tuning knowledge already gained in making it go like buggery
