Default Bit of advice please regarding a 98 uk turbo.

Hi guys, looking at swapping my knackered bottom end on my uk turbo 2000 for an sti 8 bottom end.
Now I need a little help please if you don't mind.

My exhaust is a 2.5" straight through job that is about 3 feet in total length from the turbo, the headers are ported as is the rest of the system, I have a Bosch 255lph fuel pump fitted, dump valve delete, all engine breathers now vent to atmosphere and I'm running a standard airbox with a performance panel filter. Apart those mods listed the engine is standard.

When I fire it up I will run it on V power but was wondering if any of you guys could see any problems with my set up? Also is it worth running with a little meth in the tank?
Thanks for taking the time to read.

before you fit the sti 8 bottom end one of the gearbox bolt lugs needs grinding off ( not needed on classic ) as it fouls one of the turbo banjo's stopping it from sitting right.
