One thing that affected my decision on the exhaust was the downpipe sizing because it has to fit the new turbo, what width + type of connection downpipe would be needed to fit a 19t?

Trying to find a second hand 19t is proving quite hard, only new ones from here:

And I don't really trust either of them.

I like the idea of getting the gold EZK and fuel + ignition chips from classicswede. I'm even more hazy on my knowledge of electric stuff, is it as simple as replacing the ezk, replacing the chips and then giving it to someone to get a map done?

I am now starting to see that achieving 250bhp is a lot easier to do then going for 300bhp+ without doing internals, which I'm fine with.

You don't need to do any internals for 300bhp....just bolt ons
if you put generic chips in you won't need a custom map...
i think classicswede sells a 3" downpipe or you will need to get one fabricated,,,
Owen Developments do a 19t hybrid especially for this application but its not cheap at 1500 quid but well worth it!!
