Turbo conversion will commence in the new year. Thinking over options and decided that the most likely route to take will be a single turbo setup using a t25/td04 kind of size just to get it up and running with a 250 bhp sort of figure being the aim then once everything is sorted and running strong it will be time for twin turbo. Lots of things to think about like what gearbox to use to make the most of the dramatic increase in torque and power, probably a Be box with uprated clutch and a quiafe diff to match.
With manifold, turbo, cams, possibly forged pistons and decompression measures, mapping and uprated components I can hopefully have a sub 300bhp rallye on the road for under 2 grand/a months wages
And just to make this a more interesting update, here's an old picture from a previous owner
