Cos i will be doing this 2.0l Turbo transplant early next year, i wanna clear a few things up.

Would it be better to go for 17's rather than 18's?? (have heard things about driveshafts breaking etc..)

Which suspention kit should i go for?? I was thinking Spax coilovers (airbags are still on the cards tho

)

Whats the advantages of a 6 speed box??

Whats the first mods i should do to the turbo engine when i get it fitted?? (chip, airfilter, cams, pistons????)

Lastly exactly what needs uprating for the transplant.??

Thanx peeps.
(as you can tell i dont know much bout engines)

you'd be better going for 15's

a good choice would be EIbach with billies or even PSS9 billie coil overs. don;t waste cash on 6 speed box. mods a decent intercooler and oil cooler is a must. forget about mods as the car will be fast enough as it is.

oh and fit a boost gauge, oil temp gauge too

going from 1.2 8v to 2 litre turbo could be a death wish though... how are you for insurance on one of these?
