Default Which route shall i go??

Right im thinking of a nicely specd engine for my escort, the engine will be a silvertop 2litre zetec fitted in to a mk6 escort, now im undecided as to what route i should take??

Now i have seen a few zetecs running turbos and a few zetecs running Tb's so i was wondering what other peoples opinions are?

Could anyone tell me the pro's and cons of the turbo route, and the same with if i whent for Throttle bodies?

What sort of power am i looking at with turbo? and again what about throttle bodies? And estimates of costs?

Sorry for the long post and cheers for any replies

I would say neither of the above.
Fit a supercharger.
Cost about £2500 +/-£500
Set up and mapped should net you 220-260hp and loads of torque.
