Why is the conversion crap?!?!

I need some quick info on this because im looking at buying a low milage 480 turbo for the engine.

I've heard the conversion is crap before, but noone has ever told me why.

the 1.7 engine is a poor engine.

The efi is MAF based which is crap for any sort of fuelign accuracy.

Tpo get any sort of power from it you need to bin the standard efi setup and go to a programmable MAP based set up.

the engine is designed for old people going to the shops.

Any 16V clio/19 will easily pull away from you.
