The large holset turbo will take some work to get to fit. But when your done you will have zero power down low and tons up high. The car will be a handful. I forget who over on turbobricks did a holset swap and he does autocross. He spins the car out in every video he's made, cus when the pwoer comes on its so great. It's really just a straight line option. As for the t3/t4 hybrid you can definitely make your own or buy one. But if you are thinking about a ball bearing turbo better start saving. A good one that you would want to own would be about 1200 buckaroos.

I've actually gotten a lot done on it recently. Taking it to a friends shop tog et properly tuned in a couple weeks then its getting repainted. Then I'm replacing the seats and door cards then its done. And i'll probably sell it in the winter next year. Like to get some joy out of it. Not just work.

Did you figure out if it's a special order car?
There are a few ways to tell for sure.
How much are you asking?
Edit: Doh!!! Frankensteined it!! Should have looked at the date but it's really cold and I had a glass of brandy while I read the thread.
