A few have been done over the years, not one that posts on this forum that I know of though except for a nice chap called Roly.
I'm seriously tempted to do the conversion on mine when I bring it off the road next year. The key questions you've got to ask yourself are (in my opinion); are you capable of doing the install yourself or the atleast the majority of the main things? do you have friends that can help you out? do you want the car to be reliable? are you willing to throw a lot of cash at it (if you don;t earn a lot like me lol).
Also beware that if you aren't the most upbeat/enthuiastic person the conversion might take you a long time
as with any car project though !
Like I said though If I decide to go through with it the car would only be a 2nd car (or toy in otherwords) as then I can goto town on the little sucker
Plus mk2 ibiza 20vt kept looking standard'ish will be a right sleeper out on the road most people will assume just a shabby old 1.8-2.0n/a but when you wind the boost on bye bye
Just my 2p.
And while we are on the subject of this perhaps the more informed people could suggest the best way of doing the conversion..... eg. get a crashed mk3 ibiza and transfer bits over or try and get engine of sommet like an LCR and try and make it fit (just how big is the 6sp g'box). You get the idea just throw some ideas/suggestions about
