Default new engine for 97 850

97 850 has 200,000 and is showing some issues.
-Can I drop in a new or rebuilt Turbo in place of the stock 160hp ?
-If so what would the gas mileage penalty be....I currently get 25-28 mpg highway (it's a 5 speed Standard)

Dropping a turbo motor in a Non-turbo car will take alot of work and wiring.
