Default Should I buy this 240?

http://spacecoast.craigslist.org/cto/1956782687.html

It has some stuff wrong with it(Ball Joints, tie rods,and brake problems). But it still runs just needs new tires and what not. It has a b230f, which i dont know if its the better engine or not.

But what upgrades can i do to get this car to the 220hp range? And it has 220,000 miles so would that be a good idea to upgrade it that much? I already have a turbo i can buy but im not sure if it will fit(its from a 94 850t-5r)

The B230 is a fine engine. Getting from 114hp to 220ish is easily doable. t's all a matter of how fast can you afford to go?
