MPX309 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Mechanically minded, yet asking advice on how to fit a turbo onto a 1.6 petrol Fiesta as can't afford ST. haha. I'm not mechanically minded, but I'd say for all the hassle and cost that is going to cause you, you'd be better off saving up for an ST and selling the Zetec. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerFlame Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 You'd need a custom manifold, you'd need to sort cooling, oil feeds, Probably an intercooler, custom remap, possibly alternations to the pistons themselves as they're often a different shape when compared between NA/forced induction. Save your money in the long run and buy an ST.
