Hanyes gives the bore and stroke as the same on both turbo and non-turbo 16V. In fact, the fifference in CR isn't huge between the T and NA 16Vs - 9.0 and 9.3 respectively.

If money is an issue, he'd be better off selling it and looking for a stock turbo IMHO. > Glad to see you survived the soup touraine brother Grunff.. :) .. LOL - I've been here all along.
