Overall though, price wise and the condition it's in, is it worth dealing with? I know once you start modding a car with a turbo its bound to start shitting on you eventually, so do the pros outweigh the cons? When you said looking at the engine, anything in specific I should be checking for? I heard the main thing you should check is engine compression and for boost leak. Anything else really that I should check for this car in particular? And I appreciate the repsonse, thanks!
