How much to bore my ford ZX2?

It's a 2.0L DOHC VCT Engine. I'd like to bore it out to 2.5L, replace the pistons with high compression ones, replace the camshaft, crankshaft, new spark plugs, and a small turbo. How much would that cost, parts and labor?

NOW LISTEN UP! I've posted this question before, and I don't appreciate people telling me that it would cost more than the cars worth. I've put over $7,000 into the car already, from rims to a new paint job, and a complete exhaust system. So if your just going to say that its not worth it or trade it in for something else, DON'T ANSWER.
 
No way you can bore it out that much, you might be able to stroke it out to 2.5L but a 500cc increase from boring out 4 cylinders isn't going to happen. I've never heard of anyone stroking a 2.0L Escort engine though. Chances are you will need a one-off custom crank and custom rods. This will likely set you back a grand or two. You can see about boring the engine maybe .30 or .40 over, you'll need new cylinder liners though since your block is aluminum. You won't gain much for the amount of money you spend though.

Honesty I would get a forged crank/rods, add a turbo and call it good.
