1800 turbo is my favourite combination. Plenty of power and more reliable than you think. I’ve seen a few cracked liners but in all cases the boost pipes were detached. Turbos generally only fail if the head gasket fails without the owner realising and water passes through it. Most people know to let the car idle after a drive so it’s rare to have one fail for no reason. My first tourer was an 1800 turbo and I took a 190 on a 24 hour test drive with a view to buying. The V6 sounded nice but felt no quicker than my turbo.
