I'd start by thinking about my power hopes, do you want 130 or 170 horses? Then you can go from there deciding on turbo, compression ratio, clutch, gearbox etc.

If its a track weekend car I'd be looking at the top end of the scale, so look for some other setups running 150 to 180 nanas and steal some ideas for your engine. I think Paul S made a good table of parts/modifications needed for expected power.
