Who said anything about ripping the car apart?
The closest comment to that was suggesting that I didn't feel the 6-speed 'box wouldn't be particularly well suited to the engine and commenting on the known weakness of them compared to the 5-speeds... but clearly that's your call what gearbox you want to use and it matters to me not one iota.
I can understand why people like the turbo engines and I'm not doubting that they're pretty brisk with the boost wound up, but certainly not for me as I don't like them in a 205, a car which for me needs a lightweight, responsive engine that thrives on revs. Don't have anything against anyone who wants to run one, and indeed am currently converting a XM Turbo wiring loom for a friend of mine for his 205 conversion.
You need to lighten up and stop taking everything so personally. Keep cracking on with the car as it looks like you're doing a good job on the install.
