Default Building a YB turbo...

Hello all, I'm learning as I go with this build so bare with me. I've been looking at what YB threads I can find and theres no daught this is the place! you guys really know your stuff, and I'ed respect and value your advise on what I should do!

My aim is too build a YB Turbo lump for my mk3 Capri, aiming for 300/350bhp but It needs to be reliable, nice to drive as It will be daily driven (possible?)

So far I have the following

205 block
Cosworth Rods/Crank/Pistons
Sump/Pickup
Crankcase

I need a head, manifolds, turbo, pullys and all ansilleries.

Is what I have any good?

The 2wd head is different to the 4wd head, how so, will a 2wd head get me anywhere?

Also I've yet to see a turbo manifold for a YB on ebay, are they rare and not available off the shelf? I find it hard to beleive!

I've heard the T3 isnt up too the job and I should go for a better turbo to start with, witch one would anyone recomend if this is true?

I'm still quite in the dark what to do about an inlet manifold/fuel delivery and ecu... I was thinking a standard one all round would be the best thing?

I'm aware of greens, 31- actuator, 3 bar map sensor, chip, uprated head gasket and head bolts, I've got along way to go before I need to buy them tho!

Sorry for all the questions!

Thanks for reading!
