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

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.
