Default zetec turbo questions.

Just got hold of a 1.8 zetec motor with a snapped cambelt, paid a tenner for it so im well chuffed.
Now then, i know i want to completely rebuild the bottom end using suitable low comp pistons, do some work on the head ports and put a suitable set of cams in for a big power turbo lump.
What i need to know is what engine managment i can use without spending silly money, what pistons are suitable and if there is a cam profile for a blown zetec.
Any info is well appreciated

Regards

Pete.
