There are several things that could be done to it, but nothing that will get it near 250 HP. No one makes a turbocharger for a 2.0 SPI. You can put on a cold air intake, headers, performance chip and a low restricted exhaust system. Looking at a gain of only 30 HP. A turbocharged 2.0 would be putting out 243 HP at the wheel and the only one I know of was made from a blown Thunderbird. The user ID is Jeffescortlx and he has a website on this forum. He knows everything there is to know about putting a turbocharger on a Scort.

i know a lot of people with SPI's making close to 250hp..you just have to make your own turbo kit.

superchargers aren't overly difficult to put on, if you don't mind getting rid of your air conditioner. the mounts for the A/C are in a good spot, all you need is a bracket to mount an eaton to line up the pullies correctly, and get the plumbing, and you're good to go.
there's a company called Paeco that works with the ford CVH engine, that can pull 261hp out of a Naturally Aspirated 1.9L, but that's around $7k for the kit, and involves serious head work and lots of other expensive bits.
Not to plug other forums, but there are a couple others that have a lot of good information on them about turbocharging and supercharging the escort.
feoa.net and escortunderground.com are the sites.
I don't remember who, but I do believe that it was jeff who found that the DSM exhaust port spacing (from say, a 1G talon/eclipse) is basically identical to that of the 1.9/2.0. so, with some slight modifications, a DSM turbo header can be bolted right up to the escort.
but, I say search around more and do some more reading. With a SOHC 2.0L engine (~122cid), it's really not common to be pulling those kind of numbers, from any manufacturer...
