bpt is a turbo, your gonna wanna stick with the stock turbo header.
Honestly I wouldn't even worry about rims, exhaust etc. I'd worry about getting the bpt installed and running correctly first.
You'll need a bpt gtx or gtr motor, and a pcm that goes with it, becareful as there are ppl that rip off on the pcm's saying they're this code or that code when there not.
You'll need a re-pin chart to for the pcm.
Look at getting a flywheel and a clutch to go with this motor..

Thanks for the advice where should i go to get one of these engines???

ebay has them. Any motor importer will be able to get a hold of them. Be careful with importers though. Ive heard some pretty shitty stories with JDM motors from 'legit' importers
A while back I found everything I needed to do a bpt turbo and awd setup for about 1500. Including wiring and pcm. I believe most places go for about that price. I believe the motor alone is like 800 or something

keep the stock turbo header, get whatever light 15" wheels you want, get 2.5-2.75" exhaust from the turbo back. as for all the style stuff, style the car how you want. what color you paint your dash wont effect anything. and who cares what people on this board think about how your car looks.
if you are really serious about doing this, then first save the money and get a hold of the parts you will need and get the install done and the car running right. then worry about what else you want to do

You can find a turbo B6T inside of a Mercury Capri XR-2. They were small convertible coupes, 1.6L turbo. I've seen them at Pick-n-Pull before. I believe it has the same boltholes as a BPT, which should be the same holes as a BP, which is another motor they fit into your style of car (for the Escort GT).
The BPT is a much faster motor out of the box, but the B6T could be a strong contender on a lower budget.

Good to know good to know.. Well Ill def. have to let everyone know what i decide to do. I really would like to just get something new but that wont ever happen
Matt
b6t supposely has stronger rods the the bpt, but the bpt has tons more pontential.
I'd go bpt, once you boost, you'll want more.
