Default 1.8 zetec turbo engine swop

hi all, dont know if any1 can help me...

ive got the later mk5 escort L reg 94 cosworth replica, well ive just had an rs turbo engine fitted which was bassicly knackerd so ive took that out and went and brought a 1.8 zetec turbo engine to fit, its just been re-built from top to bottom, here is what has been done to it.......

the engine has been rebuilt from top to bottom...
the block has been skimmed debored and fitted with skimmed pistons to lower compression
new piston rings fitted genuine ford cost £75
arp conrod bolts new
new genuine ford head gasket ideal gasket unto 250 bhp
the head was skimmed and new valve stems fitted and stem oil seals
new head bolts
new inlet gaskets
new exhaust gasket
new water pump
new high performance ht leads
new ngk spark plugs
new manifold to turbo gasket cosmetic
rebuilt airsearch t3 turbo
new kent cam belt

now im being told im gonna have to get a new fuel pump, (a cosworth intank fuel pump) but my other mate said could use an (rs2000 fuel pump) which 1 should i go for as i havent got a clue! lol,

also is there any other things i should be worried about with this engine cus i dont think its been fitted in a car since the rebuild,

its gonna be running on the ofab wiring loom and ecu which ive been told will be ok,

and has any1 got any idea what kind of bhp i could be getting out of this engine?

any advise about any of it would be much appreciated,
