Boost it till it blows. Then swap out of necessity. Thats how real men roll

Do what tony and I did. Boost the stock motor, when it blows up sell the turbo parts, and do a swap. I bought my turbo kit for 1400$, and used it for like 40,000 miles, then sold it for 900. So 400$ loss to play with boost? Well worth it.

Thanks to everyone that responded. So many choices its hard to choose. Thanks for all the opinions.
Oh and another question...If I go with a B16, what car and year would I look up for parts?
Thanks again.

I knew you'd like that
SpeedRacer_87 - IMO the b16 is the most overrated swap out there. If you're going to skip the boost and swap, save your money for something worthwhile like a f20b, crvtec, h22, etc..

RE: Turbo or engine swap
IMO I just dont like them cause their lack of torque andfeel they just arent worth what you pay for them.With a b-series swap I'm pretty sure you just buy the mounting kit and the new mounts bolt right in. Correct me if I'm wrong?
