How much punnishment can the Panda gearbox take? Perhaps it's an idea just to keep the 1 liter engine, and opt for a 'junkyard turbo' conversion?

And before you go say that's impossible, have a looky at this site (and actually take the time to read it too, lol)

Well, I suppose the answer is - how long do you want it to last[?]

FWIW I understand the Lancia Y10 turbo used the same gearbox.
It had 85 BHP [:0]

Depending on the engine management, or not, it might be easier to drop in an 1108 or 1242 FIRE engine.

Do something about the brakes if you do [}][:0]B)[:0]B)[xx(]
