Well they need to cut a section out the front crossmember, just below the slam panel.. If they do it right then they will weld a section back in.. Without it the exhaust downpipe from the turbo won't fit in..They will need to fit in the fuel distributor some where.. I move the battery on mine slightly more tight into the wing and welded a bracket onto front chassis leg and mounted in there. They need to locate the fuel ecu and the spark control unit somewhere.They need a 180 bhp chip of some description. I'm using a turbosystems one.. Then u need a -31 actuator set to run 1 bar. piper cam. Then it'll hit 180 brake. If u use a bayjoo chip it can run up to 18 psi and u'll see closer to 190 + but u need a bigger intercooler. If they using a second hand engine that hasn't been rebuilt which it sounds like it then it would be best to fit a rebuilt one with forged pistons!!
