the beiges are just a straight swap yeah. as for the turbo, the t2 isn't great in standard form and my hybrid is probably not as good as most of the hybrid t3's but it does spin up quick and the response is very good. downside is that they cost a bomb and t3 hybrid's are cheaper. as far as i know you just need to move the rad forward and probably the battery tray may be in the way, however someone who has done the conversion will be better off advising you. if you intend to run standard boost then you won't need beiges or a hybrid but if you think you may want to increase in the future you may as well buy right the first time and get your beiges and hybrid. presuming your engine is in good nick all you'll need is a chip and you'll see 170-180bhp no probs. get it set up properly though and take it for regular checks and it should last a long time.
