£1200 gonna be a dog imo. Sorry

 

Makes sure you have deep pockets and alot of patience!

Lag at the top end of the turbo doesn't sound right. Might be the boost is tailing off? weak actuator or something along those lines maybe?

Rolling road set up varies on where you go and how long its on there. Place I get mine done charges around £80 an hour.

Rust to check: battery tray, fuse box and sills. See if you can have a good rummage behind the bodykit.

For that kind of money it's going to need work mate unless the person selling it is a complete retard lol. Rust is your main worry. RS turbos are great fun, I miss mine
