Save the money and just get a B16. But if you want some REAL power, get a search button. Those things are awesome!!!

swap!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i wish i had 4 grand to **** around with... get a gsr engine OBD2 bolts right in with rear upper mount... you can get a engine with less that 38k on it... sell your engine for more parts for the gsr!!!!!

if you were low on funds like me id say go for the turbo... but you got enough money... do a swap.. my.02

i would turbo it, it's not going to add 100 hp to your engine unless you upgrade the internals, ie. forged pistons, rods, etc. on stock internals you probably don't want to boost above 6-8 psi.
