Thanks for the advice, one option i had not thought of is to supercharge it. I have heard that the 1.8 is better than the 2.0 as its all alloy and lighter.
I googled the DP Engineering, and sat there drewling, but i dont have the 1800 quid for the conversion.
I might have a look at the supercharger route as i imagine there is more space to play with than trying to bolt a turbo on.
Would i have to change the internals if i went down this route?.
As for the 406 Sri engine, i have tried to get some info out of Peugeot Ecosse but they seem very tight lipped about it, i was told the engine would drop straight in as the mounts were the same.
Another option i had considered was to use a NA 2.2 406 sri engine, again i dont know enough on peugeots without physically buying one to see if it would fit.
A friend suggested to use a 207 GTI engine? is that possible
And the last suggestion was to use a 206 GTI 180 engine, again is this possible.
At the end of the day i would like a turbocharged or supercharged engine, coupled with a GTI 6 gearbox within the 200bhp mark.
Again any advice is really appreciated as my background is more VW.
