thank God this is the only thing that will ever go south on a 9-4-4. 
don't mind me, i'm just in my typical "horses-***-944" mood today.
i had an almost new one back in the early '90s. snappy, fun, a bit over-rated, but a chick magnet in those days.
due to the car's dependable service history (until that dark october day), i was quite spoiled in my youth.

Problem with the turbo swap solution is that it doesn't solve the issue of coolant/oil mix if one of those seals gives up. If you can provide a blanking plate that gets rid of those seals and provides an external oil cooler, that would be a great plus. Just thinking out aloud, don't know if that is even possible.
