Yes currently NA.
Undecided on what turbo, but probably a Borg Warner EFR 6255 or 6258.
But aiming for ~250bhp

Lots to think about.

The 88bhp engine I have already has a low compression.
I was advised to turbocharge this, rather than fit a 1.8 and charge that.
Seen a dual oil/coolant radiator that fits in the original bracket

Thanks
I tried selling it at the end of Autumn last year but no takers.
So I was going to try sell it again this summer but I'd still me making a massive loss as the mileage puts people off (144,000).

I've spent over £3k restoring it and will be spending another £3-4k tuning.
I can't really put a price on it.
