Default Puma power!

Got a mk4 fiesta with a 1.7 puma lump, full miltec system 421 manifold panel filter msd ignition been re mapped pushing 134bhp. Full story 170 front and rear brake conversion,h and r coiloverd front and rear strut braces ect. Handles like a dream but just want more power.
has anyone heard off or seen a turbo kit for these? Or know off an easy way to get power?
My idea eventually would be to zetec turbo.

Last months Fast Ford has a Puma that he'd previously turbo'd the standard 1.7 and got something like 230bhp at 12psi. Not much info on it though as he ended up dropping a Duratec in it instead.
But it seems the 1.7 likes a bit of air forced down its neck!

Oh, and your next step would be cams to take it up to FRP spec. Should liven it up a bit more.

Bike throttle bodies, I believe suzuki gsxr750 ones are popular, that with an uprated ecu should see you a few more horsepower.

I have no idea how a supercharger works. I know it's belt front driven from three crank, but does it run from inlet or exhaust manifold. I have been doing research and supercharging looks the best bet if someone could tell me how it's done would be so great help cheers.

The manifold lends it self to have a turbo mounted to it very easy
