Broken bits make it worth less, on a different note the power is down a little on what you'd expect. lol

Looks like a nice car for the money! Engine conversion would cost more than that. Just because it has a turbo doesn't mean it'll make loads of power, depends how much pressure its running.

lower the pressure on a standard engine = less likely to go bang.

I would have said it was a pear underneath tbh, check out the NS chassis leg. They normally make about 150bhp on 3-5psi iirc, so unless it's running 1-2ish i'd say it's down a little on what you'd expect.

They run low compression pistons and are designed as standard to take the boost pressures. (Or not as the case maybe lol They eat head gaskets lol)
