looking at all different sites at the mo looking to see what boxes will fit and weather o not to put a turbo in or not as my better half will be using it for work and she dose house calls as a district nurse lol will be the quickest nurse in swindon lol but fuel comp my be an issue , she dose get a fuel allowance but we want to benefit from it her car now dose 23p a mile and she get 67p a mile so the extra gose towards upkeep of car .

i would do a non turbo version as i think there would be to much power otherwise and blow the box . the other way is to see if a porche boxer gearbox would fit

thats what i was thinkin i think the hardest part will be the coolin and the main water system as reguards the heater system and finging a gearbox that will handle it .
