if your on a tight budget, d-series turbo is the best way to go

just make sure you do it right the first time...

I would prefer the swap. You may not be boosted now, but you will have a better basis to start with when you do.

do a compression test on your engine, if it comes out good, turbo that sheeit. i recently installed a greddy turbo kit on my d16z (140k miles 200psi compression test), best bang for the buck mod!! for what it is, this set up haul's ***.
