It is possible, if you have the time, skills and the money.

Unreliable it had teething problems as did every other conversion IIRC.

The only non-sensor related issue it ever had was turbo seals going, which on an engine estimated to have done 80k+ is normal


Car was never unreliable, but if done again i would buy a new loom and all new sensors!
