Long story short. I have a 1998 ford escort lx 4 door stock engine. Would i be able to turbo it? if so could someone point me towards a full kit and what ever else ill need? thanks!

Hey and welcome to the site mate
adding a turbo is possible but it is alot of work and £££ where as it could well be cheaper buying a turbo car to begin with

Of course with the escort theres always the option of the cossie engine

ive been restoring rs turbos for a number of years and what your talking is not going to work sorry,unless you do a lot of internal work,, best bet would be buy a turbo engine complete around 500 quid and instead of all the wiring madness throw a mega squirt kit on it
