Hi which of these engines would I have least trouble with if I had around 3k to spend?

I have heard horror stories regarding every brand brands but never know anyone personally have any issues.

Im not thinking of the twin charged version just the turbo, plus any other suggestions that are similar.

Thanks

Cheers for the reply mate, are the cars themselves solid?

I was wondering why they were so cheap the THPs considering the age and what not.

Thanks for the contributions, the T-jets are sounding good, I like the idea of having a high and low boost option as well.

I only do 60 miles a week and I like the torque in diesels but obviously dont do the mileage so these could be a good alternative.

Am i right in thinking the engine theyre based on has been around forever as well?

Yeah I was thinking the Bravo, seen a few Alpha Mitos with the same engine in as well, not sure if that'd be a good buy or not.
