When they were wondering how to get the motor into the bay they touched on ditching the old turbo in favour of something more modern and interesting but not what else exactly. Baited breath.
New paint! The engine has to have new paint. That is the most important part of the engine rebuild :).

Turbo sizing and changing was mentioned earlier in the build. However its more of a question of the ancillaries such as the water pump, for both the inter-cooler and the engine.
Have there been considerations for anti lag? i understand that the mini's weight won't be providing a lack of response.

They've got to get it running first. They had to do away with the original turbo because it was taking up valuable radiator space and then there's the ancillaries they've had to remove just to get the engine in. One of the criteria of the project was to use unmodified outer panels aside from the wheel arches.
