Hi all,
After a bit of a wobble where I tried to get rid of the thing it looks like I'm back to trying to get my 940 turbo running again (thanks for the chat & info Luke!).

I've decided to whip out the engine and gearbox and take stock, rebuilding everything stage-by-stage as I go. It probably won't work after either, but at least I'll know for certain what it ISN'T wrong with it

Anyways, I was hoping to get some advice on what things I should consider upgrading/changing/checking whilst I've got unfettered access to the engine, gearbox and bay?

Engine wise it's a head off, skim, clean, guides and hushers job. I'm thinking of aiming for 250 bhp but can feel the siren call of bigger turbos and 300 bhp already

Gearbox it's a TTV flywheel and 850R clutch in all likelihood.

Any advice is, as ever, gratefully received
