dunno. needs a working turbo.
but if i fix the turbo, it needs straight cut drop gears to cope with the power (they break over about 95bhp)
so that'll be a money pit too

i bought a cheap turbo which is a dud. not too bothered though, as it came with a decent carb, and better manifold than the original one.
i knew it would need uprating gearbox wise and that the original turbo was fudged.
i might just get it running N/A and sell it, replacing it with something which works
