There is a guy selling 2 early 90's model Eagle Talons for $800(both) near where I live...there are some problems though...one is a TSi AWD and the other is the TSI FWD. The story behind the TSi AWD is that he turned the boost up too high and messed something in the engine up and now it is only running on 2 cylinders...and barely running. That seems to be the only problem besides some interior stuff. So my questions are:

What would have to be done to fix the problem?

Would it be worth buying 2 cars for $800?

If I did buy both of the cars, since both engines are turbos, would I be able to just swap the good engine for the bad one?

Please get back to me with more info so I can be enlightened.
