1.9 xr2 on 40's

i bought a erst 2day, d plate red un, bit manky underside but looks a nice enuff car, neways, its got a turbo technice plate on the slam panel dated '87, was wondering if it is likerly to be a turbo swap or maybe a developement car (bit late i know)

i bought the car to break for parts for my other 2 but if its sumthin special ill do the 2 bits of welding and repair the few marks and have it as a whole car again

ill get the details off the panel 2morra as the car isnt outside my house atm

Turbo Technics usually have their own name plate on the compressor housing of the turbo.
