If you intend to drive it, make sure there is enough cooling. A number of turbo engined Midasses have been burned. I had extra insulation on the bonnet, heatshields and extra ducting from the front, around the negine block, to the turbo to keep it cool. But in traffic jams the brake lines would heat up so much that I didn't have brakes anymore. When moving again it cooled down sufficiently to work again. Also oil temperature was a problem although the oil cooler did a good job later on. But in the end I got rid of the turbo, I never trusted the car and usually something would break down. It will be a challenge to get a reliable turbo engined Midas.
