This engine has a bad reputation but they arn't all that bad. The good thing is people have a hard time selling then and you can get them dirt cheap.

It breaths thru these tiny slits that need to be filed open.You can also take a small drum sander and clean and open up the end that goes to the turbo boot. This will wake it up and make it run cooler and just plain better.
