Default looking into gsx

I love my gst right now but, I want a gsx so bad that is not modified.
Just so I can domod everything and know its right. Unlike my gst that has been a major headache. How easy would it be take and swap the t25 off the gsx for my big 16g on my gst? I would think it would be pretty easy. Would i need knew gaskets or anything? And couldI transfer the aftermarketstuff off my gst that works and swith it with the factory on the gsx. Any opinions would be great thanks for the help

u sure could transfer your turbo and other aftermarket engine products. its the same engine. ecu is also the same besides the gst having a speed limiter. hopefully somebody else can fill u in with all the gasket cuz some might need to be replaced since there already crushed. Dont know if its reuseable.

it's a good idea to replace the gasket if it's been crushed already. just err on the safe side, don't want something going wrong soon after you swap it out, might as well replace 'em while it's apart.

Ya the gs-t would win at a 20 mph roll and ive heard even at a stop the stock gs-t would win over a gsx. Although shortly after a few mods the traction becomes an issue and the gsx takes the cake.

well than im at a loss of what to do i guess i can just hang on to my gst since its alot quicker. do you think the front bumpers would have to come off to swap turbos? are there any problems with the awd trannys??

From a stop AWD=Owns you (as a rule of thumb) Becuase you can dump that sucker at just about anything and it will hook right up, if you do it to high or to much it might explode but you probobly wont ever see the tires spinning.The front bumpers are the same, everything is the same except tranny and obviouly the AWD drivetrain. I have never had problems with my tranny, I have heard that if you dump it to high that you can really mess stuff up (obviously).
