    Has the 1.8 engine gone? Seems like quite a bit of work for not a massive power gain?

    dont think so yet. he has asked me if about keeping the 1.8 gearbox just attaching it to the 2.0l would there be a problem in that or would it be to change the gear and drive shafts

    would it be possible to put a turbo on top of the engine in where the intake pipe pipes come in on top of the engine. and would it be possible to upgrade the trottle body

    If he's going down the turbo route he would probably be better off trying to find a MK1 Focus RS lump to go in. Could be more cost effective in terms of extra power in the long run.
