Engine broke - put in a turbo lump?

[Ph1l]

My HGT engine has a major problem. It makes a knocking noise and has lost power. I think its a bottom end problem, but I cant find anyone that will touch it. Even the Fiat dealer cant look at it for 3 weeks.

Does anyone know of any place I may be able to try near the essex side of the dartford crossing? If its gonna be that much I may put the 20v turbo lump in it, as I've been thinking about it anyway and the brakes and suspension are already uprated. But will need to find someone to do the work and a good coupe turbo engine and box. Cant really drive it, so has to be nearby or they need to pick it up on a transporter.

Anyone got any ideas?

You could speak to Poweralfa about the turbo conversion www.poweralfa.com
Also have you tried L&M International in High Wycombe? You'll find their number in AutoItalia

Evocars look pretty good, will see what they can do for me.

I visited DA Motors at the weekend. Didn't have what I wanted, but they did have a couple of Coupes there. One was very light frontal, but I have no idea what engine it had.
