It would need major everything work. Big engined NASP cars are great to drive as the torque and power is delivered steadily through the rev range - turbos are nearly always laggy and the power comes in at the top end. My Rover 220 Gti out dragged a Audi S6 on a 300 ft strip - the s6 turbo didn't even cut it till near the end.

That's why some people prefer big engined NASPS - Turbos can be more fun due to the kick in the back nature of the power delivery.

I like most JAP cars, Drifting but own an Audi 1.8T sport (turbo) which is a good compromise car for performance and a daily hack. I've owned Rovers, Renault, Vauxhalls etc...
