don't forget engine oil cooler as they are tapped for different oil lines and the head is different, stronger valves and valvesprings and the exhaust manifold bolts are opposite the stock 2L, easy job to do, but why bother, and the crank is the stronger later model with 8 bolts and bigger gudgeon pins, so if you can grab the whole donk for an extra $200, not a bad deal.

Your 2L engine won't last long with the turbo on it. Best grab the whole 2LT motor while you can and spend some $$ on it a little later.

Keep the boost/fuel etc at sane levels there is not reason it should not last a good long time...
The 2lt is a better motor with oil spays under the pistons and a few other nice to have bits on a turbo donk..
