I Want to fit a 2ltr 16v Turbo Engine int my Gsi

I Have engine conversion instructions and have read up on the job of fitting a 2ltr 16v, i don't have a problem with that.

But with me wanting to fit a turbo what extra work is involved and what extra parts are needed needed.

What is involved in changing from 4 wheel drive to 2 wheel drive.

Also will the standard 2ltr Coversion Kit still Work from PVD and people.

When fitting the new engine either 2ltr16v or turbo will i have to change the standard gsi gearbox and if i do what is the best on to go for.

Thanks

the gsi box wont fit as its a small block box and the turbo engine is a big block if u use the f28 box witch is designed for the turbo engine you will need to get a 2wd convertion kit and a special mount for the gear box.
or u can use a f20 from a astra gte allso found in cav gsi,s calibra,s ect thiss is allready fwd so no kit is needed it will fit on the turbo engine but u will have to change the fly wheel 2 from were ever the box came from if you use a f20 u can use the standerd mount 2 your convertion kit from pvd will be the same as fitting a 20.l depending weather u decide to use the f28
