The Bostig kit is $4000 and an engine with 30K cost me $500.
Turbo option coming soon (I get one of the beta versions to test)
The Zetec was designed by Cosworth as a 2.0T, so its made for a turbo.
Not nec. to regear the tranny either.
20 mpg in my loaded syncro westy.
Drives Sweeet..love it. Similar to a 2.2 Subie in power. OBDII electronics.
Put it in and fergit it..
