Theres your biggest limiting factor.

Lotus has never made an engine worth a ----.

If you do pursue this, start thinking outside the box. Megasquirt is your friend. Use parts from other oem turbo cars. Make ---- work.

And post porn.

Go find the turbo Impulse forum man. I know there is one, or look up turbo impulse or turbo Geo on CarDomain. I've seen builds of the engine, I BELIEVE, you are referring to, and it seemed to me some of those people were definitely getting alot of power out of those cars.
