I've never regretted buy the ZS - but I have on a number of occasions regretted some of the choices I have made with it over the years. (the worst being the hybrid turbo due to all the then follow-on problems)

I'd echo the advice from the people above.

I'd get a refund on the engine supplied if you can, or take the charger straight off and see if it runs any happier.

Build the engine you plan\want to that has been uprated while it is out and take your time over it rather than rush to get it done.

If your engine that was supplied is no good either find another one cheap, or get a banger with an MOT and run it for 6-12months while the ZS is sorted.

There is nothing like driving a PoS for a while to bring back the appreciation for a ZS!
