Jim,
Is that thing a 5-speed or auto?
I think adding a turbo, especially a non-watercooled unit, would be fairly easy on that car, but I don't have any specific experience with adding one to an 8-valve. I am definitely a 16V guy.
Today I messed with a black Focus SVT in the blue 900 LPT. I think he was frustrated that he couldn't pull away from me at several stops (I was behind him on a one lane road), and then must have been really annoyed when he saw the (empty) baby seats in the back seat as we sat side-by-side at a light. There is nothing on my 4-door to indicate that it is a turbo unless one recognizes the stock turbo exhaust tailpipe outlet. Truly a sleeper. In the winter it wears black steel wheels with 8-valve stainless small hubcaps.
