They never did a twin turbo mr2. Twas a twin "entry" turbo. And no, the flat louvers on the back makes me believe its NA.

Interesting.

They aren't that bad actually, but I do minimal miles (under 3k pa). The worst costs are obviously fuel, even after a remap to lower the fuel air ratio I don't get more than mid 20's mpg and it only runs optimax. If you give it some proper beans you will get 9mpg, but I guess those kind of things are expected on a car with over 300bhp.

The big cost associated with them are one of two things

1) broken engine £££££
2) Front suspension £1k

I take it that's due to the 'super strut' suspension I've heard so much about? Been tempted by a few but reading through accounts of costs usually puts me back off

Yep, usually last 60k so if it has been done recently it should be ok.
