Hate updating this now. Been to kris's this weekend just to hear the car and see what to do.
Think we are going to need a new engine for sure. So the options are buy a car with a 2.1 and strip it then fit it into the car.
Or completely rebuild a 1.9, I have the arp head studs and was thinking if I am going to do this I might as well try and get some forged internals, and a newer turbo for the car. But all depends on how long the lead times are on the con rods.
Might also need to find a new bare engine.
