1) do it!
2) these engines are good for 200bhp, before you need to update the internals, except or the conrods! Definitely get forged ones!
3) the gearboxes are shite but if pug1off have just made a gear set for the ma box that can handle the extra power!
4) I'm putting the 1.6 8v in mine as you don't have to mess about with all the looms! Just take the old lump out and drop the new one in! The only difference is I'm going to cam and throttle body mine rather then turbo!
Hope this helps!
