Hey Taz

I did a 3l to 5l upgrade and is pretty much a bolt in job, i guess the 2lt is the same basic block layout

I had to change pretty much all the bolt on stuff like powersteer, aircon, alternator, engine mounts, inlet manifold etc
I had to change the sump also and the oilfilter/cooler housing

other than that, the origional loom plugged into the inj pump and all was well

Would ya want to be selling ya exht manifold and turbo?

if ya need a hand or parts (gaskets etc) gimme a PM

Good luck
Dave
