Looking to view this soon, it's a rev2, any reason why I shouldn't buy a rev2 turbo? Anything main to look out for?

I owned an NA for about a year and loved it, now wanting turbo power. Any tips or hints about them in general or this one would be appreciated,

Cheers

Looks really good, dont own a turbo but if I was after one this would be top of my look at list.

I think I'd wanna see an engine bay pic to make sure it all adds up but it seems good. Maybe priced slightly high but it looks tidy and is low mileage...

Looking at the sticker in the rear screen the owner may be a member on MR2OC- worth going onthere and seeing if you can find out more

Looks like the aerial is missing ?

So check for water/rust

Any advantages of owning a rev3/rev 4 turbo over the rev 2? More bhp etc?

Rev1/2 200-220bhp depending on who you belive
Rev3 240bhp


Rev3+ engine has:
Better turbo
Better cams
Bigger injectors
Metal head gasket
MAF replaced by MAP

If you want to mod it to around 300bhp, rev3 is better, if you want to go beyond 300bhp then it doesnt make any difference, as all the better rev3 bits would be replaced.
