Retro Power Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 if its going in a rwd then just buy an XE and rebuild it with omega low comp pistons and drill the block for the oil return you'll want a bigger turbo, so the std one will be no use, it fits much nicer with a top mount manifold, XE cams work well and you're bound to want bigger injectors, and even if you wanted to stick with motronic management (which you won't as it'll only mean a pain in the ass relocating the dizzy) you can pick ecu and looms up cheap on migweb as most folk go aftermarket ecu now basically, in my experience, you are buying a lot of bits to chuck em in the bin by buying an LET Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
