What would be my best move???

Well i have an 88 N/A and the engine is ****. i need a rebuild and my friends are telling me to get a turbo II engine and that if i dont i will regret it later. i understand the NA is fairly slow and the T2 wouldnt cost all that much more than it would to rebuild my NA... i just cant decide. i dont care all that much about speed cuz its still fast enough i guess but its a performance car. also i feel itd be a lot harder and more work to get the T2 in my NA and it might end up costing a little bit more to pay someone to do that swap. plus itll get a litttle less MPG and i dunno how much more reliable it would be. but overall it would still be hella faster and more fun..... i cant decide. any suggestions?? thoughts?? anything would be appreciated.

just do the swap. its really cheap to buy the setup and it all bolts right in and it is simple plug and play. if you cant find the rear end, go with mazdatrix's custom driveshaft and it will bolt to your current rear end. it does cost a little more but you've pretty much made up your mind. i think your just looking for a little motivation. yes the N/A is horribly slow and you will thank yourself later for doing it. trust someone who's done the swap
