In what regard ? It's not exactly an uncommon build.

Well - I wanted to know if there is any "remember this" info someone has.
Thinkin Atlas rear axle, T5 trans, YB turbo.
Wide tunnel from Burton, 4-link and Watts, intercooler/rad system.

So was a "general" one - where someone could hopefully let me know if there is anything I need to brace myself for.

I helped a mate in UK many years ago with a YB conversion. Lots of issues ... but one he didn't see coming was that the sump wasn't compatible with the crossmember.

A lot depends on what you want, how far you will push it, etc etc. I did work on a S&J build a while back with tractive sequential etc and all custom exhaust manifold, rad, intercooler etc

But the harder you push, the more other items will need upgraded. What is done depends on what you can DIY etc too.
