Literally.
Really is gutting about the Teg, but as has been said, it would be a shame to sell it on even though I can see why you'd want to.

Thats what I was thinking.
Your cars have all been fantastic but didn't you cite 'I can't be bothered with the problems' when you sold the RX7? I can understand you were thrown into the situation with the duff engine in this integra. Just get back into a scoob and pimp the people carrier

That P1 is worth nearly twice what a 96-spec Integra is worth though. I don't get why standard cars are being recommended, he wouldn't have issues with a standard Integra, like his old SiR which I believe was trouble free.
You should try it you know
Keeping pace is 10x easier than leading and he said 'beat'.

Around 350bhp. The rods/pistons/sleeves are good for 500+, and the turbo is good for around 400, but that's daft through the front wheels, I wouldn't want to go much more than 300-350.
After spending loads of time and money on modded cars in the past I don't think I'll be going down that route anymore. As much as I love modding cars, my modding will be limited to stuff like a basic ICE install, maybe lowering but certainly not anything like what Drex has done here as it always ends up costing twice as much as you estimate, taking twice as long, and just generally frustrating you.
When I had my MR2 I did everything bar any major engine mods. I seriously considered going the whole hog and aiming for 500BHP but I'm so glad I didn't cos I don't know of a single person who did that who is glad that they did. They all had major problems, often requiring multiple engine rebuilds, generally costing shed loads before they gave up and cut their losses.
Personally I think that a Teg is a good enough car as it is, you can have so much fun in a car like that, you don't *need* silly power, just enjoy it how it is. If I were you I'd be looking at just dropping a standard engine back in, selling the old one and turbo bits and just actually getting to drive it rather than throwing money at it and having it stood around.
