yep...take a trip to the zetec section at fastcougar.com
there are currently two people working on custom turbo setups
Seawulf who is using a WRX turbo and another guy, I forgot his name and what hes using but he just installed his front mount intercooler and Greddy E-Manage not too long ago...both shooting for 200+ fwhp
u can actually find a turbo and intercooler for fairly cheap...if u can weld and bend pipes you'll save yourself a hell of alot of money.

Just curious guys.....do you (Contours) have more space between the Hood and intake than the Cougars? If you have more....dont do what those guys are doing, they are forced to fab there own manifold because of the "no room" under the hood. That is because the Turbo manifold has the Turbo attached to the top of the manifold...well.... more like 45 Degrees.
Buy yourself a Turbonetics Turbo manifold with external wastegate flange and go from there.

as far as I know, under the hood is the same demensions...but I could be wrong 
i saw what you were talking about on the other site and its possible than the manifold you have wont fit under the hood?

I don't think there is any way to have a turbo/manifold setup like you're describing on a contour zetec,, very limited room.
98.5 SVT
91 Escort GT (almost sold)
96 ATX Zetec (i brake to watch you swerve)
FS: SVT rear sway bar
WTB: Very cheap beater
