A turbo box is a must unless you go the mirage manifold route. This is a lot more expensive, but i think Iain and a few others are trying to organise a group buy so could work reasonable enough.

Your turbo engine will more than likely be running a verto setup with the later type starter. If you want to keep it like this, ur old mini clutch slave cylinder will need to be changed and the electrics modified for the starter, ignition coil and electronic dizzy.

Probably best to replace all the subframe mountings with polymer bushes etc.

cheers for the advise ill bear it in mind

You will also need to fit new large 8mm fuel pipes....with a return pipe to the tank. I had a hole drilled and the top of the tank and a small pipe welded into it.

thanx for all the info turboman
