Well........

you'd need an engine in tip-top condition otherwise it will blow it apart   then there's the cost - big dollars! insurance etc etc  

still wanna do it?

Even if If you have a healthy engine it will need a full rebuild with diffrent pistons if you are doing it properly,  but you can get away with stacked head gaskets and cross your fingers.    Its been done... hell i turbo'd a 1.4 AEX and that still runs even to this day.  although to be fair it was driven 400 miles then stuck in a garage to rust

the car you talk of was sorted by a company called alldubs.

ive been talking to loads of people about this and have most of the parts for the conv.

mines on 150k but im building it on a sep lump that will have a good overhaul before it goes in.

so far ive worked it out to be like this...

2 headgaskets and a spacer plate machined up...
run a 5th injector as well as the standard injection system
