Haha. Ok. You need alot of work!

Firstly brakes, suspension and your chassis should be looked at.

Then you need to bring the compression ratio down. You can just put another 2 head gaskets in i think.

YOu need to uprate your fueling. More air, needs more fuel. Im not too sure how you could do this.

You need to buy an intercooler and get that piped up into the front bumper.

You need to build a bracket to put the eaton m46(i think this is the one you have) on. It needs to be perfectly inline.

And ofcoarse you need a belt.

I would just buy a different car.

too much work in my opinion.

You need a few things doing in order to claim 'euro' status too lol

I would see it working.... it wouldn't make a massive power delivery from the car, but it could be interesting.

you would need to junk the engine management, and run aftermarket - and I'm not sure if you can easily change the injectors (but that's the least of your worries)

Telford ay it...
Wasnt there a 1.4 turbo on here from greece??

Would be interesting, if you have the balls do it. I have a little plan involving a charger and a similar sized engine.

Oh and that word again.......Euro!!!

As everyone has said, its going to be a load of work and expense too I would imagine. Wouldn't mind seeing the results though. :)
