and on turboing the 2.0. it depends on what you take the motor from, if you get the NA 2.0 then you need a full engine rebuild. I would suggest getting the motor from a turbo car so its basically all set for a turbo.

well see i got already got the engine from a N/T car. but i heard it is not too hard to turbo them in the long run. And thanks again for all the tips and help.

then your gonna need new pistons and rods for it, and then of course all the **** that comes with turbocharging (Turbo, manifold, downpipe, intercooler, piping, new intake, guages, ect.)

shadow_ryder, true it's not hard to make an engine turbo ready however it is QUITE pricey... i'm doing it now and regret every penny of it. trust me, take your time, fine a turbo'd engine. . . or else your lookin at total bottom end rebuild and everything else that TheEngineer mentioned... this is all assuming everything is ok w/ the engine to start with.

WOW so i guess i would be better off just leavin it non turbo. i heard that the 2.0's got plenty more power then the 1.8 so i think i will be happy. untill i win the lottery or somethin. thanks again for all the help.
