Default New with a new problem

Hi Everyone,

Well first of I'm the new newbie round here lol.

Today upon my travel's I stumbled across an engine which I was told was a 2.0 8v Turbo. After alot of heart ache, A cut finger and hardly anything out of my pocket I go the engine home and re searched the engine number which is 96BM-6015-AD.

To my surprise it came back as a 1.3 8v turbo. Quite a few part's on the engine are stamped with 'Prism Motorsport'.

Well here is a few picture's and if anyone could give me ANY information on these engine's or 'Prism Motorsport' it would be much appreciated.

StrongMint - Mark

P.S The title is ment to say Newbie with a new problem Lol

If you had the down pipe and extra filing set up with it the kit would be worth 150-300 quid.

Engines worth about 6£ in scrap metal ? Lol
