Plan to wait for a 2012 or '13 model to see what Ford does with the 1.6 EcoBoost engine (if anything) and the Fiesta. I'd prefer to buy a factory turbo (from the emissions testing standpoint in CT) but understand that Komo-Tec in Germany already has a Rotrex S/C kit for the European Fiesta D16.
There other options and I'm sure a few people here will explore them. Someone will try to fit a D20 or D23 into a Fiesta in place of the D16.
For now, I have a D20 in an '07 Focus ZX3 (also have a Zetec 2.0 in a '00 ZX2 S/R.) I can play with the two Ford's i already have and learn plenty about the Fiesta before I buy. I would also hope that eventually Ford would bring the 3-door hatch to the US. A 3-door Fiesta with the 180 HP Ecoboost engine would make a nice platform to mod.
