they made a 20GET in the states, which is a 2L 8v turbo. You can get hold of a manaifold for abotu £50 with current exchangerates, and if you finr a scrappys then the TB, inlet manifold, and pistons (forged) would be handy too. Then you just need to bolt a turbo on and use an appropriate headgasket thickness to drop the CR enough. then standalone management to stop it melting itself.
