Default Forced induction for 2009 Fiesta Zetec?

Hi everyone, does anybody know or have any news about whether there will be any turbo or supercharger kits for the new 2009 Fiesta?
I've been looking around but nothing yet. The Fiesta drives nicely but would luv it more if it had more power for spirited driving.

Any positive enlightening info would be much appreciated _2:

Cheers

The 1.6L the new Fiesta uses is a brand new motor so I would have thought it was too early to see a kit specific for them. These are the first Fiestas here to have variable valve timing so engine management would need revisiting. Keep an eye on English websites like Pumaspeed and Team Torquesteer for any packages that might come out.

The Fiesta fans around here can correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't the new Fiesta ST (XR4 over here) going to have a 1.6 turbo as opposed to the 2.0 atmo engine it has now. I know ford hasn't confirmed the car will even be built (it will though.....) but that engine will basically be a turbo version of the top line 1.6 VCT (which is standard engine in manual australian fiestas).

Might be worth waiting for such a car to be built and then come here. With teh current XR4 getting good wraps you can be pretty sure Australia will bring the ST here as an XR. Would cost more than just a stand alone turbo/supercharger but would be a complete car.

I think turbocharged version will be the Fiesta RS (along with the Focus RS), could be wrong. And RS's usually stay in the UK/Europe.

Ford have not confirmed anything with the new ST.

The 1.6L Turbo motor basically only shares the block with the regular 1.6. It is a turbochargered direct injection motor.
