or for 1k more get a supercharger and gain a guarenteed 40% more hp
much better then the nb swap IMO
where are these 2200 turbo builds?
Even a basic greddy kit is more thanb that, add in the cost of fitment (cause you are including that with the new engine) and it quickly adds up...
DIY ofcourse
The $2200 may not get you all the way there depending on how much you do yourself, but it will sure get you close.
Less than $2200 *CAN* get you a turbo set-up.It'll work really well too, that is, until your clutch starts slipping, your diff explodes, your brakes start melting and you have to put decent tyres on so that you can ACTUALLY remain attached to the road...
After spending so little on the snail, I'm not looking forward to spending almost the same amount on a diff upgrade.She's on her way out though.

My point was as a comparison, a $2200 turbo requires a lot of DIY, so cannot be compared to a drive in drive out engine swap where the only time you need to lift a finger is to get the cheque book out.
