What’s your plans for the car and most importantly your budget? You can do a cross flow turbo kit on it and make some decent power out of the motor. Have you thought about swapping a VR6 and doing a 5 lug conversion yet? ---

The money you’ll spend on the 2.0 to make any sort of extra power will get you a VR swap. What were your plans for it exactly? Throwing a cam in that motor is relatively easily given you have the right tools and some wrenching experience. In all honesty though I wouldn’t bother wasting my time with it if your considering a VR6. ---

Are you getting oil pressure? Car making any noise? Cross flow turbo kits can make ok numbers with a decent tune. Check out a BBM kit for it. ---
