I have a 98 Escort ZX2(80,000miles). I'd like to add a turbo to the car this winter Should I get a different engine or is this one ok? also could you email me some info on the turbo kits (price what they include and any other useful info,such as what each item does, would be helpful because I don't know much about turbos)
Thanks,
Dave

From what I understand installing a turbo on a high mileage engine is not a wise thing to do. If you have a problem and do not know of it the turbo will make it 10 times worse and motor will ultimately fail. Terry could answer better than I though.

A ZX2 with that many miles would benefit from Terry's higher stage kits that get a block rebuild. You get a turbo AND a refreshed block at the same time!

This whole thing sounds like it going along pretty well!!  The one thing I was wondering "And mabybe I missed it" Do you "Chris,Terry,and Street Fighter" Plan to use a copper head gasket with this set up. With even the stock compresion being high I can only imagine the compresion of 2.5 durtech with a 10 Psi Turbo??????

They do seem to hold up fine to the S/C (only if the s/c did) BTW - the turbo will be intercooled It should be easier on the engine by forcing in cooler air. Also PSI level means very little. It's the cfm flow that get's you!

Head gaskets are fine. 9PSI with no intercooler on the Vortech kit doesn't blow them. Some engines are more prone to head gasket failures. *cough* NEON! *cough*
