    Keep in mind that the spams use a crossflow 8valve motor so some of them bits won't fit.

    You need to check some stuff with them before paying up.

    I would get the downpipe and intercooler made locally, all their cars are LHD too so fitment could be an issue on some parts too.

    The kit for the G60 ATP-VVW-109 could fit possibly ? You would have to lower the compression some how.

    if that kit would fit, it sounds better price wise
    what im not sure about is, do i need a turbo ecu or remap the current one
    someone mentioned that 2 steel head gaskets would lower the compression and obviously have better resistance

    You could use the G60 ecu & loom as well I would think.
