Default Convince me to swap

I own a '99 EX Automatic w/ an Edelbrock turbo kit pushin 10psi.
I found a good deal on a wrecked but complete '99 Si
it should be an easy swap and a better platform, right?
Should I swap out the turbo auto D, why or why not?

Thanks,

Convince yourself, are you a turbo or a NA man? though the B series can be boosted as well of course.

with that edelbrock kit you should be getting around 200whp at 10psi.

b16 usually dyno at 130whp.

i say keep the turbo D. use the money to buy internals for ur motor instead of swapping and smoke some B's
