Gents, I've tried to have a look around but not yet been able to find anything. I've bought a second engine to do a build and i'm aiming for power that starts with a 6 and bags of torque.
I'm currently running a k26/27 turbo on a wagner manifold with wagner intercooler on standard inlet and engine internals so I think pretty much everything will be new.
Bosch 044 pump.
So what is the shopping list?
Rods and pistons? Standard bore? Engine balance to allow more revs?
Headwork?
Turbo, I really don't know much about specs for these, borg warner vs garret or holset?
external wastegate, which one?
I can get pipes and even an exhaust manifold made or is there one I can buy?
Do I need the reverse inlet manifold? Again I could get a bigger intercooler made or buy a wagner item but the reverse manifold and intercooler adds up to a few quid very quickly.
I already have a full 3" exhaust but can make a new down pipe to fit.
Which injectors?
Mototronic management or aftermarket? I'm not worried about being able to play with it once fitted but i'd like two maps so it can get driven normally and be a bit less crazy, plus full power with anti lag etc.
Standard flywheel and which clutch?
This is going to take a while to go together, there is nothing wrong with the power I have now 414 bhp and 607nm I just want something to do! ha ha
I don't feel the need to do mega power as it will just become totally undriveable, already owned a 600+ bhp car and it was more than enough.

I had an ghetto/scrap 600+hp engine for few seasons in use. No any big issues.
It's all for fun. I've almost reached the end of doing stuff on the car, its painted, recaro seats, fixed most of the issues etc so I need the next chapter of the project otherwise i'llhave to sell it and buy something else to tinker with so a fresh engine build seemed like the next bit and something i can take my time on.
