Hi and welcome.

I'd suggest you have a lot of reading to do, especially if you're coming from a Fiat 20v Turbo, which is a very different proposition in terms of modification than a VR4.

Assuming you end up settling for an auto (most do) then you can probably forget about drivetrain issues short of the AYC diff failing - and it that will go if it goes.

I'd suggest the best thing to do is buy the car, buy a fuel pump and a Reflashed ECU, and then see if you still want to modify anything else.

Have a search on the site - there is a heck of a lot of info to take in, and more than any one person is going to put down in a thread for you.

hello and welcome to the club.

the best mod is £20 for club membership then you can access all the info in the library that will give you all the answers you will need .

filter , boost controller , de-cat , fuel pump (saftey)could see near 300 bhp .gear box can handle alot more . big bhp is difficult with out deep pockets.
