the link i posted was correct . The car is a uk rev2 non turbo model. If u got a turbo engine it is because it has had an engine swap so need to look at engine to see if its rev2 or rev3 as cud have come out of any donor car :thumleft:

We are wondering if you bought the car either thinking or having been told it had a turbo when it is a uk non turbo.

You can do an engine swap but it's all down to how much money you want to spend, maybe better off cash wise to search out a nice turbo car while having a bit of fun with this one. Mines a rev 2 non turbo, , as someone's already said, it's still a fun car to drive.

Do a bit of research into costs of conversions vs cost of buying a turbo car. :thumleft:
