Default engine rebuild, spec help needed cam, head, management and turbo choice

Hi all,

My Rs turbo is stripped waiting for better weather for a full under body resto, a project page will be started soon for any one who is interested...

The shell is really nice and the car has a gen 63k so i was going to rebuild the car back to total standard.

However i have been thinking about management and would quite like to go EFI for reliability and economy more than anything. So have a choice... Cossy management or after market (probably OMEX 600). Any ideas?

Also as the engine will be largely standard 200 brake is my target, so easy enough. So far the bottom end will be blue printed and balanced using standard crank, rods (albeit shot peened with ARP's) and standard pistons.

I am unsure about whether to get the head ported etc. nothing too drastic. But with the aim of running lower boost for the target BHP. Would any one recommend a company or 'stage'.

Also the car currently has a piper T285 cam, i want a low lag engine and i don't really think this is the cam for me.... can some one suggest a good Newmans for my power? i would like to retain hydraulic tappets.

And lastly lol

With an unstressed 200brake being the aim, i want a really low lag, nice to drive in traffic etc car. So have been considering a T2 (frst manifold), T25 or T28 turbo. Could any of you make decent recommendations regarding turbo choice for low lag?

Thanks very much all! as soon as the build begins pictures will be up.

Rob,
