I once owned a TA22 with 18R-G. It fit, kinda. The 18R-G fills more space forward of the crossmember than 2T-G, which is itself mid-monted (engine mount location). There was clearance on the intake side equivilent to 2T-G, with dual Solex carburettors and room for slimline air filters. Excaust side clearance should not be a problem. Might want to confirm that the modified engine mount won't interfere with turbo mounting. Fans in mine were thermos as the clutch fan wouldn't fit.
As a result of forward-positioned boat anchor motor install, mine did behave like a lead tipped arrow. It didn't turn in too well. Having said that, once it'd changed direction it'd be a blast point-to-point out of and between corners, having a midrange strength that 2T-G lacks.
I hate bent cars and bog. Get the TA22 and do it properly if you're keen enough to see it through. TA22 was produced for five years alone, *A23 for 2 years in tandem with RA28. More parts should be available for TA22. You'll never fix a really bent car (TA23). Give yourself a chance.
TA22 are smaller, lighter, prettier.
