Just spotted this on eBay, I have seen it before but it has a better description this time.

I'm not interested in buying it, just interested in the set up.
Would/should this even work?
It's still running on a 1.6 ecu with a 1.6 coil pack.
Seems like they have just put a gt manifold, turbo and exhaust onto a 1.6 sporting engine?
Don't know what he means by 300cc injectors will work with the gt Ecu because the ecu will need a remap! I'm sure it would work but I think it would need the compression ratio sorting out! From reading the advert it sounds like he has just used the 1.6 bottom end. I don't know though it is a bad advert lol
It looks like a full 1.6 engine.
I know who's this car was I'm sure it was navisens from North London sold for nothing basically think £400 like that. That engine bay looks pretty empty to me tho :/. I wouldn't pay more than £300 tbh
Phfff......I'd say it sounds very risky (and/or expensive) if its going to be a daily car - not so much if youve got time to figure it all out and you like having a project to tinker with.
I like the Mk1 Cabrio shape but given the standard Mk1 handles very poorly I would dread to think what this would be like with a 1.6 turbo tugging away at it :(
