T series will more or less go straight in, you will need the wiring loom from a 420, and An ECu, Then you will need to think about the radiator and intercooler but its not too much work, I think they will go straight on the PG1 box

Yeah, sounds like too much time and work to sort it out. I wouldn't mind if i only lived a couple of miles from work and had time in the evenings to tinker but i need the car to be able to travel back and forth to kent from dorset to see my partner.

I would love to do a turbo conversion tbh. Miss my turbos.
