Certainly if you have the budget a visit to Mark will pay dividends long term. But have no doubt you`d be looking at several thousand pounds for what would be a fantastic set up like caddyshack has.
The EFR7163 is a nice turbo but if you want to utilise it to it`s best you want a decent ECU with boost control direct to the on board solenoid. Then custom twin scroll manifold and ideally some ASNU or ID injectors.
TT38 and L8 ecu with some Siemens blacks (if you can find them)can be a great set up as well though, get it live mapped and away you go
Based on my research before parting with my cash I would 100% agree with all of the above.
