Thanks Richard - I had an idea it may be expensive. As for buying something with a "Bigger engine"- well it seems as though the 1.4 although nippy enough for me it lacks that punch you get with a turbo when overtaking. Not a hugh problem really. Just thought I might have used that latent power wasted for the want of a turbo. But thanks again.

A company called Van Aaken Developments used to offer a turbocharger conversion for the Fiesta Zetec-S which shares an engine with the 1.6 litre Focus (itself, the same series as the 1.4). It took power up to around 135 bhp IIRC, and turned the sub tonne Fiesta into a pretty quick little car. I don't know what long term reliability was like, given it used standard internals, but when I was on the owners club site, owners were delighted.
Cheers
