we're building several of them at the moment. We connect them to the MT75 gearbox and run them with MS.

I agree they give great power but at the cost of a heavy iron motor.
A few Elise owners have swapped their K series for VAG/Audi 1.8T and although they are much quicker in a straight line the weight has knackered the
handling due to the extra weight.

Yea they might be a bit on the heavy side. Its a cast iron blok, and the turbo does add weight. It's also an engine with a lot (!) of
possibilities. You can keep it fairly simple at 150 bhp, or go for 265 with a better mapping and the TT-turbo. The engine has been in about 13 cars,
each with slightly different parts. You can match parts of one engine to another one, all are interchangable. You can choose a mechanical throttle or
if you want a drive by wire system. So many options. Even if 265 bhp isnt enough, with bigger injectors you can take it over 280bhp. Engines will hold
about 360bhp without internal mods.
I've started building one for myself as well now
