hi guys, been out of the mg fold for ages now but always promaced myself i would be back into it one day, now funds are available i want to build a mg zs turbo, what options are there available, i have about 9.5k including buying the car to spend so would think i could build quite a wepon for that type of money?

With that budget you could be looking at a late mark 2 and a VAG lump which has much greater tuning options than the T16.

My plan is a saab b234 2.3 monster. Lots are making 500bhp for lowish mo ney.

If your paying for the work then the vag conversion would take some beating.

I love my 180 but I dont think I could sink 9.5 k into one.

A turbo ZS would be better suited Adams too young for a ZT. ;)

Welcome back by the way bud. :)

for 9.5k you will have a monster build, epic engine and one hell of a setup! Don't go VAG whatever you do, its a british sports car and deserves a british built engine, zee germans have no place under a ZS bonnet ;)
