YB turbo, only way to go ( although the HPE cars are fucking awsome as well)

A properly sorted N/A YB isn't a cheaper option than a turbo'd YB (if you're looking for decent power).....
Nice car, not personally a big fan of MKII's but can appreciate them

As Bill says, N/A YB isn't cheap!
Stage 1 YB would be my option
Cool looking car, Guy localish to me has a RS2000 flat front, also in Orange doing a N/A YB, should be mint when done.
I'm properly craving a old skool Ford

Very true about making an YB N/A, lot more involed than just taking the turbo off & putting a pair of carbs on insted!
