DMC knew the performance of the car as built with the steel frame was 
lacking because the car came out heavier than origionaly designed with 
the composite frame. Being forced to go with the engine package 
because of EPA certifacation requirements caused the power to weight 
ratio to be higher than anticipated. The "magic bullet" was to add a 
turbo to the car. This is what Legend Industries (well known in the 
industry for having the ability to prototype and do small scale 
production runs on turbo installations) was doing for DMC when DMC 
declared banckrupcy. In so doing and at the time owing Legend millions 
of dollars it caused Legend to also declare bankrupcy. (Great system 
isn't it?) The British Government caused a ripple effect that hurt 
many automotive suppliers besides killing DMC and Legend Industries.
The turbo installation changed the personality of the car as anyone 
who has one will tell you. It is still available to be installed on 
the Delorean and IMHO is a better option than trying an engine swap. 
DMC Houston also has engineered an uprated naturally aspirated PRV-6 
that is supposed to achieve similar results without a turbo. Driver 
reports indicate that it's performance is impressive and may be a 
better alternative. 
The distributer is where it is because this was origionaly a front 
wheel drive package. The Bosch fuel system contrary to much of what 
you may hear is a very reliable and effecient fuel system. The main 
problem with it is people working on it and not knowing what they are 
doing.
