   O right then, thats good to know. Are there any garages that would be able to fit this in to a high standard?

   yes, i would reccomend gmc motorsport and also atspeed racing, both have proved themselves to do very high quality work.
   
   be warned, it isnt cheap but the rewards are very good indeed. the TU engine loves the boost.

   youll need engine management and a better set of pistons and poss con rods does seem to be a good set

   £4-5k is not bad at all for a decent set up

    This is as said the best kit on the market, its the kit i have, but its not strictly a bolt on kit at all, you'll need to source a fair few more parts!!
