Import Engine Blues - usually, when you buy an engine like that, it's pretty lazy for the first few minutes you run it - rings and valves are gummed up, as well as the injectors. When it starts, it usually coughs a bit, farts out some smoke, then picks up on all cylinders.
Change the oil before you start it, drive it for a week, then check the compression, and if it's not running smoothly, get the injectors cleaned. It's usually wise to throw in a new set of plugs as well.
