Perhaps there is someone here in NE with a turbo we could do a little swap to try out?

Having a standardish S1 the upgrades to 180 are still pretty costly. Not too crazily far off a conversion.

IMHO it is worth taking s1 to 155 ish using head plus cams. Will cost around 2k but also covers a c service from engine perspective. S2 ecu probably less accommodating of mods but 150 doable.

After that it becomes much more expensive and the conversions begin to look attractive assuming you don't care about originality, weight or recouping your costs.
