My housemate had the turbo with a thorney stage 3 upgrade which takes it to 260bhp
Total weapon of a car in a straight line and round corners, really nothing much can touch them as they are so low and so light.

The main problem with them is they are useless in winter as the vents are awful and the windows steam up chronic and also they need an experienced hand at the wheel as they can do a 180 on corners very easily

Easily the best drivers car I have ever driven though. The acceleration is unreal and you feel the road so perfectly. Not a single driver aid apart from ABS as I recall so it's all down to you.

Take a test drive
This was his one, he got standard turbo wheels back on it shortly after as the 18's he bought it with upset the steering
