That was going to be my point. You dont daily it? Then go ahead and if you got deep pockets and feel like fabrication is your thing then do it. Otherwise sell it and get something else

Why do you think you can do a swap cheaper then boosting it? Your stil gonna have to change the rear end, still gonna have to BUY an engine. Your not not
being realistic... Buy a Z or an evo or a genissis 2.0t if you are t satisfied with the
current platform.

Don't think were here against you man. I hear you on improving upon your current platform. Tell us what you don't like about the S and maybe we can come up with a solution. You honestly sound like a perfect candidate for boost. The S wasn't ever designed to be a torque monster. It's strengths are in its handling characteristics.

Look at as a weapon, do you hunt deer with a nuke, or take out a
country with a sling shot? What do you plan to do with it?

I'm just trying to help him understand, no one who looks at a cx racing turbo kit to cut cost needs to be worrying about a swap....
Well if your trying to perform surgery with machette(sp)? Ever try to cut down a tree with a scalple?! Nooo it's not some thing you've ever done, it's A bad idea! Our cars are not made to handle very well, if you want str8 like get a 99 TA I/h/c/e lots of n2o you will low low 10 high 9
