How much of a pita are these swaps? Couldnt you swap a new motor/trans with a complete harness into it? Not that I need another project, but this would be kinda cool lol ---

swaps are simple in these things, everything on the car is a basic set up, i just dont have the time to deal with it anymore, i need to get my life going…for 800 your getting the car and 2 drivetrain options lol the harness and everything for the 16v is there, it needs to be wired into the car…it just needs some time from someone with a clear head lol ---

16v is a very common motor to turbo in these, idk what kind of boost numbers people are pushing but from what i have seen they perform great. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aut2bsyQctI](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aut2bsyQctI) 15psi ---
