If somebody with a Contour wanted a turbo bad enough, all they would have to do is pony up the $$$....that's how the guy in the Cougar has his turbo. Although packaging a turbo in a Contour will be tight, it almost definitely can be done.

I heard about a blower from Vortech for the Contour. Can anyone tell me if this is for the SVT, the normal 2.5, or the Zetec?

Turbocharger on a SVT Duratec? Check this out 10:25:1 compression+ boost= NEW ENGINE  Now maybe on a regular Duratec, but I wouldn't risk it on the CSVT Duratec. Also where is the intercooler going to go? I think its nuts to run a turbo/S/C in our cars w/o one and yes I know that people are doing it but whats the life expectancy for it???? At minimum you need some type of scoop/vents to get some of that hot air out.
