Not really on this engine just a T25 and 9mm pump to match at the moment, building a spare engine for the proper stuff. Spending to much time fixing stuff so far! Something a little different not just 11mm and td04 /yawn

Tell me about it! As I said got billies, got some 30mm apex springs but that's not low enough
Fair enough mate, IMO though if your going through the effort of swapping to a T25 you may aswell plonk a TD04 on, it's a much newer better designed turbo

I've got to be honest mate, it's been a complete PITA! I had a wheel cylinder burst a couple of days after buying it and had to change it at the side of the road, then the piston fell out of the new one due to someone bodging the back plate, so I ended up putting a disc rear beam on as a damper burst, too. The strut top mounts collapsed and a front strut was leaking. Most of the interior wasn't screwed in properly, the seat belts weren't tight. I had a front brake flexi hose burst at 70mph and one of the nipples kept leaking. The wishbones were the worst I have ever seen, and one of the ball joints fell apart. The top RH engine mount snapped into two pieces, then, upon replacement, the captive nut under the mount snapped meaning I had to drill through the mount to remove it, then last week the cambelt jumped and the valves smashed into the pistons. Oh and whoever did the head gasket needs a slap as it has leaked oil from the rear-right corner since I bought it due to the head bolts being tightened incorrectly. The cambelt has been changed but it still has an old water pump, aux belt and tensioners. And, most recently, the head gasket has gone internally.
The boot opens fine, they just need fiddling with, had the same problem with my 2 others. And to answer your final question, I will not sell it in this current state
