Yeah I know what that's about, believe me. Don't sell her no matter what. She can hang on the back burner as mine did for a while, but never give in.

As mentioned above, overseas the only way one could get a vert was turbo. The chassis is plenty strong enough for it. Think about all the e-prod verts running around. Granted they have integral cages but still. You could stiffen her up if you needed to.
However, A TII drivetrain with a few simple bolt-ons will net more power than the wildest N/A rotary. So if you want a platform to build from, I would seriously consider dropping in a TII drivetrain. It's basically plug and play which is even better. No real additional time over what you'll be investing into this PJ as it is.
