do a search for "afterhours" or "seawulf"

read abunch of their threads. Some very good information.

also, your going to want to know that on a stock engine you wont want to put very much boost. maybe 6 lbs at the most to keep it safely.

but other than that your gonna need
exhaust manifold
wastegate
a bunch of custom piping
intercooler
turbo
blow off valve
injectors
ecu map of some sort (tuning)
etc etc etc.... the list goes on and on.

Before you go diving head first into this project I would do A LOT of research and planning for this project. Mostly make sure your refund check will be enough to cover the whole project. It would suck to get half way or part way through and run out of money.
But add to the list: upgrade the tranny and a good tune.

But anyways theres plenty of info in the 2.0L section.

to my knowledge i am currently the only person that is willing to build a turbo kit for the Zetec contour/cougar. you can check out my car either here or over on CEG (http://www.contour.org/ceg-vb)

If your having problems finding info on my kit just shoot me a PM and i will gladly answer any questions you have.

edit: check this thread. (http://www.newcougar.org/forums/2-0l-zetec-performance/116474-everyones-cougar-status.html)

Dropdatscort lives in the Norwalk area (northern Ohio), and he had a turbo Zetec ZX2 that was putting down some STUPID LARGE numbers. He has an SVT Contour now, but he's all about fabbing parts for the boost.


Dude knows what he's doing.

they have this "universal" kit. they also sell the individual pipes, either way ur gonna have to do it yourself. they have a pretty nice intercooler for pretty cheap also.

If that picture of your avatar is you holding your baby ... save the money and don't waste it on a car. Put the money into a high yielding savings account and forget about it for awhile. Trust me on this!
