    all depends how deep your pockets are.

    tbh pound for pound a s2 engine 20vt conversion can't be beaten as you can pick them up for around 1k, remapped is around 300bhp.

      Cheers for that so best bet is not to waste money on old engine and buy 20v turbo does it have the same beautiful sound also would the wiring loom etc need to be changed and I am going to need new wishbone soon on the rear does things like that need to be higher spec ?

        they can sound good, just depends whats done.

        brakes and suspension should be upgraded as 10v stuff won't stop that sort of power. Even the 20v g-60's dont really handle that power so most go porsche upgrade

            depends how attached you are to the car, most would say in the long run easier to save your money and get an s2.

            If you like the car then:

            s2 engine/loom/ecu - 1k ish
            s2 shocks - 100ish
            then get the tt setup that dest had on his car, its better than stock and stops the car well.
