:thumbs: F28 gearbox is the best option, although it will need converting to front wheel drive.
cheaper option is to stay with the F20, but there are no guarantees on how long it will last.

as for diferences betweem the 2oxe and the let:

mounts are the same on the engine, if you opt for an F28 you will need different mounts for the gearbox.
you will also need to fit a front mounted intercooler, change the ecu and wiring loom and engine obviously.
if you have any more questions just ring up will @ cossvaux and ask him :)
