turbo the 4 cyl cortinas motor wont give you much

what 4 cyl motor were you thinking of

fit a 6 in it and you should be able to buy turbo parts off the shelf

online turbo parts ..
http://www.turboaustralia.com.au/

the nsw regs on modification
you will need a mod plate

what was your budget
ignore the paint Bling and restored interior in this video

look at @ 1.00 the turbo parts list of what was fitted

this is a 6 cyl 4 lt ford cortina youtube 2014
