A 1.8l 8v turbo is pretty easy to cobble together. Here's my basic formula
which is good for 215 reliable hp:

1.8l Rabbit GTI or Golf GL motor (8.5:1 CR)
crossflow cylinder head
ATP exhaust manifold (http://8vturbo.com)
Digifant 1 (chipped by SNS Tuning: www.snstuning.com)
Ford Motorsport 36# injectors
Garret T3 turbo from 1st gen 300ZX
Starion (front mounted) intercooler
Bosch blow off valve from Saab 900
air/oil cooler from Volvo 740 Turbo
custom fabbed downpipe
custom fabbed intake tubing
2.5" exhaust
manual boost controller
ATP oil return and supply lines (http://8vturbo.com)

The only tricky part to all this is fabricating the intake tubing and the
downpipe out of u-bends. Other than that most everything just bolts right
in.
