U can use your 2i box as it is the same as a frst one. But id recommend getting a ERST box as it has an LSD. If the engine is going into a 2i then the looms are almost identical only the ECU needs swapping basicaly. :D

U can use the existing driveshafts, but you will need a frst exhaust with a turbo downpipe as well. Also you wil need a frst rad and intercooler as well as frst boost and coolant hoses.

Nearly there^, the 2i box has a different 5 gear ratio than the FRST one, but is visually the same. The loom that would need changing is the engine loom which just plugs in to all sensors and bulkhead.

So i need a ERST gearbox, a FRST ecu, engine loom, rad, intercooler, boost and coolant hoses.

Instead of gettin a turbo exhaust with downpipe, would a full magnex exhaust system do???

you could do, as long as it would mate up with the turbo downpipe, don't know if they are the same diameter.
