Cheers for your help everone i have done 1 or 2 of these over the years but to start you have picked a good base to start from as you wont need to swap the tank and fuel lines all the work you will do is in the engine bay and running the loom through the car. Best thing to do is remove the engine and box then take out the dashboard and remove the full car loom. then refit the rs loom through the car into the enginebay then refit the engine you can fit a lsd gearbox but its not essential once back in go round plugging everything back in. then the rest is pretty staright forward, fitting radiators, intercoolers, pipework, word for the wise fit the turbo then the rad+int. as its a rite bugger to get it on with the rad+int inplace. sure someone else will come along thats done it more recent than me, with more upto date info?
