you can pick up a Tii motor thats used for like 700-1000 bucks. but its not a drop in thing. you need a different harness, tranny, driveshaft rearend, halfshafts, and ecu. then you need a turbo and an exhaust. or you could turbo the NA motor and forget about that other ****. if you keep it with a stock turbo your tranny should hold up for a while. if you change turbos then kiss the NA tranny good bye. just do it right and call it a day. use the search feature as mentioned above, as there have already been many threads covering this subject.

good luck!!

This is a classic case of needing to check the FAQ and do a little searching first. If the original poster had checked the FAQ, he/she would have found multiple links that deal both with turbocharging the NA engine and doing the TII swap.

Closing thread now.
