whatever you get, NEVER buy a P2R. theyre absolute money pits.

Liners crack under stock power - expensive job resulting in repairing the block or replacing with the 2.4 T5 engine.
steering racks burst
PS pumps shear pulleys
angle gear splines strip creating a 300bhp FWD - can be up to £1500 to fix in just parts if it kills the angle gear too
4C shocks are only good for the first 30k of use, after that they crash all over the road on the smallest of bumps/holes

If i was you id put a 16t turbo off any T5 onto your T4 - direct bolt on swap for the 14T its running and remap it. youll be closer to 300bhp than 200bhp after that and you get to keep the cracking handling the T4s have

and if you wanna push its driveability, put a Gripper LSD in the box.
