Just wondering as everyone seems to be banging on about Zetec Turbos how cheap are they.
I know you can get good power from them but you will still need to go lo comp with a decent head gasket, etc so the mods are not that much different to cossie mods. If that is the case surely it cant be that cheap

sooooooooooooo many variations
you can do it on the cheap with a decomp plate and see 250bhp
or fit c20let pistons to the std rods and slight over bore
or do what i done and get pistons and rods made for the engine, have roller barrel tb's and a tubular manifold made up etc etc
mine is £7k and counting
click on my sig for a link to the enigne build, few pics on page 10
