Im gathering information on doing a turbo swap on my monte and have been told to use the cr170 turbo but have been told your better off using a 177 turbo. what is a 177 turbo also its meant to have oval ports on it

You definitely want oval ports, as that is what the 1.6 has

 

When mine was done I got a GTC1549VZ off ebay, but you'll also need a Darkside oil feed pipe as the original isn't long enough

is that the right one 

If you look through my Fabia vRS replica build thread in Fabia Mk2 you'll see everything which went into it

 

I had a Wagner uprated intercooler fitter too, total cost for turbo, intercooler, fitting and mapping came in a little under £2k 

thats a good price still stumped at what a 177 turbo is. is it just the cr170 turbo?  Was always into fords so it was oldskool t3 i dealt with

Not sure what you mean, but it's from the 2.0 16v CR engines basically. 

cool so just the cr 170 turbo is the one i need

Briskoda is a good place to post a 'Wanted' advert.

Sure, just make sure you get the right one to match the ports, some have round porting which is no good.
