Your link doesn't work but I'll make a start. If your running manifolds from a Metro turbo you will need a bulkhead box to fit the engine in. If you don't want to do this you can use a mirage manifold with a T2 turbo which will fit without bulkhead mods. You will need an electric fuel pump and turbo regulator and provisions for a return line back to the tank. You can use an MPi or SPi tank which has an inbuilt pump and a pipe for the return already. You will need an inertia switch too which is on most cars in the breakers yard, meaning in the event of a shunt it will cut power to your fuel pump. You will need a 2 core rad from say, Minispares and maybe a heater matrix as an auxillery. If you buy an exchange engine you will need the turbo exhaust manifold, T3 turbo, actuator, plenum, turbo spec carb, manifold, oil feed, oil return etc on top of this assuming you don't have it already.

As you ignored what I said about not duplicating posts, and me deleting the last one that you did, I will now LOCK this one. Duplicate any more, and I wiill lock both the original and duplicate. You have been warned.
