Nearly got it all

I use the Avonbar parts I have.
Source a new head
Gearbox overhaul with X pin diff
No intercooler (keeps it looking like an ERA)
No ECU
Fit a bleed valve
10 to 12 psi boost.
Standard spec turbo
Standard dizzy
Optional DV
Plenum over boost/pop-off valve blocked off


Tom Fenton mentioned the engine being less responsive off boost.
Does this mean I will be better with a standard flywheel and not the lightened one I have?
What sort of upgrade will be needed for the clutch if any?

For your clutch have a search for RTS. Robert started a thread 'clutch thought on it. It should help you keep the factory look of your engine bay.

It will be less responsive off boost because of the low compression, its a trade off for more boost.

The rts clutch is the way to go, you can keep it original with the verto set up.

Another thought for the ignition could be the following:-

They now do a programmable dizzy. This would enable you to pile the advance on off boost to improve performance.

Still retains an original look with the benefit of megajolt (or other mappable ignition).

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

This 123 dizzy sounds good. I have just had a quick read of the information on it.
Has anyone any experience of it?

iwould just use the stock turbo metro pressure plate and a ap racing rally clutch plate ,that should hold about 145 lbs.ft . with a stock cam ,no ic and a lower cr , it should work ?

Medusa + injection = too much torque for the dyno ..https://youtu.be/qg5o0_tJxYM
