Yeah... Think it's a T-series turbo lump that they drop in.
As to "where?" and "how much?" i'm not sure.

You'll need a non KV6 ZS and a Rover Coupe to use as a donor car
After that it'll be about £2 - 3k for a decent conversion - at least that's what I was quoted for a ZR to 2ltr turbo conversion

Go find a smashed up ZT 1.8 Turbo... and put the engine (or just bits you need) into your 120...

Its the same engine just with a turbo  - You may need to tweek the ECU... but other than that should be fairly straight forward...

yeah as far as I know you just fit the ZT exhaust and intake manifolds.
I beleve the ECU is different, but that can be downloaded into your ECU by anyone with a T4 manchine
