the 1.9 NA is pretty decent.

the quantum exhust is the ticket.   the 1.9 we have done didn't  have the
power of the turbo diesel.    We did a 1,9 for a  customer who bought all the
stuff new from parts place in Mi. they charged him  core on the new parts
which seemed strange to me.  motor worked Ok but the  pump pulley  didn't
line up correctly and had to be shimmed to match and  the valve cover they sent
me was bent all to heck.  I called them up and  said it looked like it had
beeen in a train wreck.   They told me that  was exactly what had happened
and they didn't have any more and for me to fix  it. well there was no fixing
that thing. bought a new one from my local dealer  who got it out of canada
. ran good but not as much power as the turbo   later  mark d
