Default should i turbo or not?

ok well i have a 98 spider that i just got. i know the 420as suck but im getting ready to leave 4 iraq so im going to have money to fix the car up. so im trying to figure out what to do. what i want to know is should i keep the 420a and have it rebuilt(has 160000 miles) then turbo it or should i do a swap with the 4g63t? and if i did the swap is it possible and what all would i have to do to the car to make it work. i got the car for dirt cheap. has a new paint job, 20 inch rims, new inter, new clutch, new tires. clean title. only paid 2 grand so im not getting rid of the car. thanks for all your help.
