Hi all
I want to know, do any body know of an fiesta mk7 (1.4) that got an after market turbo fitted.

Why not do an engine swap to one of Fords Turbo engines? You'll get a massive and reliable power hike from that!
I have seen one 1.4 Fiesta with a turbo conversion but I know the guy is having lots of issues with it from fuelling to various leaks and he had to fix the bottom end. He regrets doing it, but it was one of the older engines, not a mk7.
We get asked this question a lot so have a look at these threads which cover the basics. I have to admire your ambition though! And I hope you pull it off.

Cheap turbos can be purchased from breakers yards which are ideal for a try it and see type project.:bigsmile:
Please note that I don't think it is worth adding a turbo to an old car with a small capacity engine. There is nothing stopping you but the money and hassle will just not be worth the power gain you get. It is better to just buy a better car for your tuning project.
Adding a turbo is a major engineering task and without a kit with full instructions and all the parts you need there is a big risk of blowing up the engine. Expect to spend 50 hours upwards on a project of this type. This is not the sort of modification you should undertake unless you are mechanically competent and know what you are doing.
It is worth looking at superchargers as these are generally much easier to install than a turbo is.
