the stage 3 head will make quite a bit of difference but is it on mfi or have you converted to efi.....

as for the zetec turbo head it depends weather your running efi as it will need to run proper injectors and coil pack and what compression and pistons you running....

might be worth giving a tuner who knows zetec turbos a call like sitech ect

all depends on what you want and how deep your pockets are, for torque keep with the zvh stage 3 head, or my prefered choice would be full 16v turbo, but as mark says above, what ecu loom,pistons are you running

ye looks like im staying with a stage 3 head then, im on mfi would of gone efi (got most parts i need)but just havnt got money for uprated pistons n the rest lol,just a standard 1.8 b.end

stick zvh mate as ive seen people run efi management like OFAC ECT on zetec turbos and they run massively lean and isnt a good conversion....

and it wont work with mfi anyway... my advise is save you money and get a stage 3 head and newman cam set up with solid lifters then go efi ... or if you have most of the parts get a ms ecu
