WRX and Porsche g50 help and parts list

Hi to all the GL users and thanks in advance for any help or inoput anyone offers.

I am building a car for street use with the odd track day and run on the strip.

I am not a mechanic and my knowledge is limited to what I have learnt on here and other forums.

Ive been a member on here for about 7 years and have been trying for years to get my dream car together.Unfourtunately building such a car and finding the right people to trust and do a proper job has been a minefield to say the least.It has now come to the point of me having to take court action against the company who I paid to installed my subaru engine.I will leave it at that for now for legal reasons as the case is on going.

So its time to pull the **** engine and gearbox work out of the car and start again.

So I am well and truly bitten and obviously twice shy.

And a word of warning, be extremly cautious of any self proclaimed and so caled vw/subaru specialists who operate in the UK .

I am now trying to get some help in putting togeher a parts list and any advice for my new engine and gearbox setup.

I want to go 2 liter subaru turbo with porsche g50.

I have a 1303 with a cage,and the brakes and suspension is complete and its got 18 inch rims.

I know who I want to do the engine and gearbox workand have found a good subaru engine builder who I am more than happy with.. I need to give him an idea of how I want the power to be delivered for street use,ie not sudden bursts of power when the turbo kicks in that will throw me in a ditch.Any input from those members on here who have driven beetles on the street with 300 -350 bhp would be apreciated. I can apparently have five maps with the aftermarket ECUs so i gues that covers most situations ? I just want to ask advice on drivability, turbos clutches ie porsche or subaru hydralic ? adapter plates, etc basically a parts list.When buying a g50 what else should I try to get with it, drive shafts ? any advivce on shifters for the G50 ? drive shaft setups ?

It might seem that I am asking members to reveal all in one thread but I have done tons of reading and research on here over the years and I thought it woul be a good idea to get a thread together with lots of info in one place.I think it would also be interesting to see peoples different ideas of there ideal setups.Also any other pitfalls and problematic areas and things to be aware of

I would like to thank in advance all those involved in the site and members for keeping me interested and motivated in this great hobby of tuning/modifying of these amazing cars. AND YES I WILL GET THERE ONE DAY SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON
