I think 16" would look too big on this.

 15"s would allow you to run 288mm set up which should do the trick.

Only day i had off and recovering from the work night out, managed to whip the engine out;

Calvin dropped by to help with drive shafts so had to get a snap of the S4

Question!

Why for is the yellow one a donor? AKA what's wrong with it to warrant killing it.

Bonnet's bent in half and f**ked screen, there's loads of little things wrong with it (wasn't hitting boost to begin with) but rather whip the engine out anyway as there was soo much wiring and stuff i wanted to get rid of anyway, like the challenge :D

Think i'm going to have to get some form of skid plate made up :D don't fancy killing another engine!

Looking for a bit more power too, apparently the car had been through hell with a previous owner (parts rammed with filler) so just going to replace a lot of parts :)

Yeah man my friend owned the car previously, did a lot to make up for previous owners abuse but the wiring and other little bits are an absolute mess :(
