Your standing at the edge of a very slippery slope, shouting help, quite sensible I'd say! How much do you want to spend?

Your onto a good thing with your turbo.
Thing is once you start to up the power your going to need other related items to make the car drivable & reliable!

Was your plan to use your existing head? Has it had headwork carried outt?
Are you still on MFi and have you thought about engine management and mapping?
What have you got gearbox wise at the moment - have you budgeted for strengthening/replacing it!
Then you've brakes and suspension to think about too.

i think he means having a t34 already would save you buying a turbo to better suit the bigger engine
