Thinking of switching from my 2.2 sri to a 2.0T what common faults if any should I be looking for and what would the general concencus be out there about moving from the 2.2 to the 2.0 good thing or bad thing.
Thanks for any advice

I've had mine 4 about 14 months now,and it has'nt missed a beat.Get it BSR'd and it will change the car completely mate!As far as problems,the general thoughts of owners on this site i think, is the engine is 1 of the most reliable in the VX range!
a good switch...but i,m biased ..........just remember to cool down the turbo after givig it a good thrashing ..........and deffo go for the bsr after youve had it for a while ...........then the smile gets bigger pttttttttttttssssssssschhhhhh
Don't just think about it, do it. I was looking for a 2.2 when I found my 2.0T. Glad I didn't find a 2.2 first. The 2.2 is a good reliable motor, but the 2.0T really is something else, particularly with the BSR remap.
I had a 2.2 for 18 months and it was a lovely smooth car and I averaged 30mpg.
I then bought a 2.0 T with BSR stage 1 (on here, Mikey old car) and its a completely different beast. So much easier to drive with the massive amount of power and torque especially. But MPG is really bad, 25 maybe.
I do not owe a penny for the car and my insurance is next to nothing, so fuel is not really an issue for me, and we have a Vec b for running around in.
All in all the 2.0 T with BSR stage 1 is just great fun, so much power readilly available in 6 gears and pulls so easilly in low revs with all that torque.
And the turbo whistles lovely, twin pipes growl a nice note and it almost sounds like it has a dump valve but only on volume 1 rather than volume 10 on crap chavy cars.

i tihng its a good idea...
Do it without question.
I had the 2.2 sri (automatic) and to be honest it was nt much better on petrol than my 3.2 v6 (driven nicely) i d go for the 2.0 T ...
2.0 T rules...
Some people don't like dump valves 4 sum unknown reason,but they r not just 4 the sound,they do help the turbo,prevent stall,and when u see the standard crappy 1 u will see why its good 2 change it,especialy when running performance tuning upgrades i.e BSR!
