If youre happy with 160 bhp you can fit a t25 run 18psi or so scoff modded ecu, with green injectors, front mount, better cam volvo e, ep, clio rsi to name a few and run it all day long.
If you want 200bhp odd youll need a t28 and to run more boost with larger injectors thats where it gets tricky and you need to trick the ecu by bypassing the maf with a hole in the inlet pipe and it all gets a bit pikey. Really if you want more that 160bhp i would go standalone to save a lot of troubble.
Fitting is easy you can use most coolant hoses from the c1j cut up, a 5 gtx front engine mount a custom downpipe, and a few little mods and thats it.
