Turbo Zetec in a MKII Escort

I am interested in putting a zetec in mk2 but more interested in having a turbo zetec. Any opinions or information on this conversion? I am putting it up against doing a sr20 conversion, although the sr20 conversion is more work and more $$$. Has anyone got an idea how much a zetec turbo conversion would cost vs sr20. Keeping in mind i wouldnt do any of the conversion myself, lack of tools,time and knowledge.

Any info would be great.

Cheers Rhys.

    This is the manifold I got. And a bit of info...
    Bottom end stuff was sourced through the US, as so was the head components...
    It wont be cheap I have lost count, but in the end you won't be one of the sheep

    I have been considering this option over a yb for another car. Surely this has to be the way for cheaper turbo power

    Look in usa for SPA turbo manifold, they're cast and can handle race stresses & power , cost about $250+ $90post.
    I was going to go turbo on mine using this setup.
