right its been a long ass time sine i updated this thread, ive been the vvc route and recently had it rolling road'd and it made 149hp at the flywheel, it was still a massive improvement over the 84hp engine i had before.
the engine sounds like a diesel and after inspection the inlet cams are out of tolerance and trying to find a good set is hard to find so for the time being its staying like that, since the dyno ive fitted a decent induction kit, janspeed at back and a good service but thats as far as im going.

So i thought im going to do a 1.8t conversion with the Z+F 203hp remap but its going to be a stealthy as possible like my vvc ( that shocks all the chavs)
so no front mount
no atmospheric dump valve

So i bought an engine
head gasket has gone
turbo has play
when removing the head bolts one took the thread out with it so a new oil ladder is needed
Here's a few pictures of the engine so far and a few of my old engine
