    Hi Greg. The engine noise sounds terminal. It's a crank or rod noise which I am sure you think the same. Regards the turbo engine swap, I make a gearbox to deal with the extra power and torque the turbo engine gives. Your current C4 ratio box is a bit short gearing for a turbo, ask Leon Wignall who has a C6 ratio U spec box fitted and I have the same in my own turbo car. The rear wheel drive cars do grip well so maybe don't need an LSD if a road only car. A stock turbo engine makes over 200bhp with just a remap but 250 is very easy to achieve with many of these running much more.
