Hes in L.A. if you didn't catch that by his name. I messaged him about 1month ago shopping for a motor and he had (2) good compression S5 motors and (1) good S4 motor. He's your best shot for a good motor for sure, your not going to find a s5 TII motor locally but you can drive up to Ocala and pick one up personally for $1200.. Good luck, I'm in the same boat as you, I have a 91' black hatch that needs a turbo drivetrain
if you need the drive train you might be able to get one off a ford f150. They will be able to hold the torque/power of the T2. ive heard they bolt up.
