Really a GT28 is the route I want to go down, But for the mo VXR turbo route is going to be most sensible for 300bhp until I Forge it, But again i'll be doing the same, Buying a block then forging it and adding goodies then swaping over on a weekend.

Yeah its loverly - 220BHP - 240BHP Seems ample enough on FWD without a LSD if you want to gain traction through most gears if using as a fast road toy!

Bet it goes well!
Yeah I want to keep it all sleeperish, I.e keeping the FMIC hidden etc, I'm more about suttle trick touches rather then all in your face, But indeed it does go pretty well - Had my first play the other night with a ClioSport 200 - And ended up pushing it along the road from a standstill and rolling start!
