Mechanically they are pretty solid. But that's because they are underpowered. Hell, she's even taken it upon herself to find a turbo kit for it. Lol I told her I'd rather not be the one to install it... not to mention, I'm sure that tiny mouse on a hamster wheel they call a 1.8L wouldn't handle more than 5 to 10 lbs of boost before it blows the rings off the pistons or throws a rod through the oil pan.
That would be my luck too. May need to buy another engine pull it down and gap the rings to help it live.
