The 1.6 drive shafts and fuel pump should be fine, as far as I know.

ST150 brakes are a straight swap and fit under 15"s.

as above the driveshfts are fine and been proven to 400bhp +

the fuel pump is good for nearly 180bhp but if you need to no a upgrade well a escort cosworth one will fit in no problems.

the brakes as above again mk6 fiesta st fit no problems or you can fit escort cosworth brakes and discs or mondeo v6 brakes or st170 brakes all fit

Failed servo maybe for the brakes? Without the engine running, push your foot hard on the pedal whilst starting it up, as the engine starts the pedal should sink a little.

I wouldn't even bother trying to run it with the 1.6 injectors or ecu because you won't get anywhere in a month of sundays lol. As above, you need the 2.0 ECU coded either DEEP, DESK or DEWY.

It'd make it run better and most likely faster yes.

While your at it ditch the rubbish si inlet manifold & TB & fit the RS 1800 HO set up on, flows far far better and will really free up the rev range past 4k.
