Default 1.8 zetec turbo..but wat head??

1.8 zetec bottom end
piper cam
stage 3 technics turbo
chip
intercooler
exhaust

dynod at 240bhp@16psi @flywheel

im thinking i need a stage 3 head which i had until i cracked it so put my piper cam in a standard rst head,

do i need 2 b efi to run a zetec 16v head? or is there any other options, i herd a rumour that the st170 head fits but unsure wat else needs to be done,

if your gonna go full zetec then might aswell go to a 2 litre, much easier to get decent pistons etc, I presume ypou are running a zvh at the minute?

I have witnessed a zetec turbo running on mfi, but really would be easier to convert to efi

just fit a 1.8 head with 130 spec cams, or fit a 2.0 head which already has the cams in

1.8 zetec turbos are pretty good

cylinder head was modded so a distributor was attached to the inlet cam, mfi inlet modded to mate with zetec head, and cylinder head drilled and tapped as usual for exhaust manifold
