If you mean the MR2 MK2 Turbo you might not get too many answers here as this board is for MK3 Roadster drivers.

However, MK2 Turbos are DAMN fast! IIRC they are only jap imports, my mate has one and he aint got any problems with his and he drives his quite hard.

Hope that helps.

They are fast, but i've seen Mk3s put in better lap times (Mk2 drivers wouldn't agree of course).  I like them, and the engine is godly in the racing world.

But this isnt the place to ask i'm affraid.
