Hello i'm new to the forum

Here's my 316 compact...

After a fair bit or research I've ordered a Motorsport kit from Fabdirect with a M52 2.8l engine. The kit comes with all of the major parts:-
Radiator, oil cooler, viscous fan, air mass meter, air box, complete engine with all ancillaries (starter, alternator, etc.), engine wiring harness, ECU, clutch, manual gearbox, shift linkage, gearbox support, prop shafts, differential, complete front suspension, complete rear suspension, complete exhaust system, complete EWS wiring system, speedo cluster.

I have a few questions if someone could help please:-
- Will I need to up rate any part of the fuel system?
- The brakes are going to be upgraded with larger disc's front and back. Will I need to upgraded the the brake servo and or cylinder?
- Are there any guilds available for this sort of engine swap in a compact
