I'm gonna go with Ollie on this one...i'd rather have a coupe turbo and throw a few quid at it to up the power to a nice 280 ish.
Got to admit when i test drove on years ago the engine sounded like a hairdryer when it was revved and they ain't exactly quick as standard like said already 
Will be selling the Scooby soon and i've gotta say after owning 2 MK4 Astra's i might go back to one..ace cars all round IMO.

My turbo is blown too.
Still pushing 233bhp/305.3lbft 
I run it with no pipe on the actuator either so it just boosts and keeps going, turbos had it anyways as doesnt hold boost over 1.2bar
