MB- 86CGT

Matt's turbo conversion got me jazzed !
... so I called the salvage yard in the UK that ships me all sorts of hard to find parts.

They have a 200Turbo engine complete - engine KG (sounds like I'd be going back in time.

Is this a good engine ? will it fit
Is it something that a mechanic can readily buld up to get 200+ horespower with chips, springs ?
I'd appreciate your recommendations -

Its essentially the same block that you have now, but different interior bits to reduce compression. I think its 8.5 versus 10 (KX to NG), but don't quote me on that. Obviously the manifolds are different, etc. A fairly common late model 10V turbo. Strong and well refined by 1990. 200+ HP is going to be pretty easy. If you want just a bit more power you can probably make do with just the engine externals. The current high compression (10:1) on your engine now coupled with a small no-lag turbo in the .5 bar range should not be a problem with knock. If you you want "mad" boost, you'll need the low compression(8.5:1) internals which means you should just pull your engine out and put this one in. I'm not 100% familiar with the fuel system on your coupe, but it might be very similiar to the late 80s turbo KX engine. Making the swap much easier.
