What about improvements short of changing the entire engine out?
Does anyone have experience with more bolt on improvements? I see various firms that sell tuning upgrades for the 2800 Capri and other cars that used the Cologne engine (Ric Woods, Ferriday, etc.).
BTW - There doesn't seem to be many US aftermarket parts - I guess because the 2.8 had had such limited exposure (Capri) or were used in such bad cars (Mustang II).

Steve - I knew you would add that caveat. 
Actually, I was thinking much less money for 25-35 more hp - a bolt-on stage 1 or 1.5 upgrade. I would think any turbo option is going to require a great deal of consequential engine work.
And for the seller's sake, I hope a XR4i is worth more that 1.2K. Otherwise it sounds like a good deal if you want a fast but very unsexy car.
