If you want to put it to a turbo diesel, you'd be better off putting a td lump with power steering in from a scrap fiesta.

As said you can't just add turbo as there is no management for it(ECU).
I would look to see why the steering is so heavy, had a MK4 escort diesel myself and it was not heavy, but was low till I tweaked it!!.
