ye rs turbo would be a good one, or a CVH from an xr3i, but your best bet is probably a zetec, all are simple enough to do

In that case find a reputable tuner near you and speak to them, there is no point buying a load of parts only to find out no one near you will touch it! lol
But my advice is yes leave the CVH turbo alone as they can be very unreliable, a 2.0 black top Zetec turbo is far superior in every way

Plenty of them in scrap yards, you should have no trouble finding one.

A few bits, turbo, exhaust manifold, you need to sort an oil return feed to the block, an ecu to run it all, intercooler, inlet manifold, possibly uprated valve springs (if you aint going for much power or revving it too high, you might get away with standard ones, maybe), fuel injectors, downpipe, umm that's all I remember off the top off my head, but there's plenty of threads on here dedicated to zetec turbos
