my mate's had 4 now that he's done up from write-offs, including one turbo. Styling is a personal thing, but there's no doubt they work well, not least because they are soo light. There's no substitute in so many ways for losing weight
The turbo he has is slightly modified at 260bhp, and it's an animal.
They are a tit to get in and out of, but again you need to decide for yourself if you can deal with that, depending how often you have to do it
