oh, I didnt read that much, just read his first, and a couple of responses. My bad.
um yeah, you cant get that much N/A... maybe in a race motor, but still highly unlikely.
what kind of fuel economy are you getting now?

the only way to get 250whp out of a 420a is to build the **** out of the engine w/ top of the line performance head somewhere in the fecinity of 15:1 compression, race fuel, stroked, and strip EVERYTHING from the car. and that's nothing but a mabey. your daly driverness has gone down the drain, your fuel econemy has gone down the drain. if you are looking for 250whp you have the wrong car.

well i plan on puttin in a 2.0 non turbo maybe a 2.4 i havent decided yet and i do plan on puttin a turbo kit on it
i know that itll cost me a lot more to turbo my car than to sell it and get a gs-t but i dont plan on selling it for a long time and i want to get at least 200 horse and keep at least 20 mpg and yes i do plan on going lightweight with it and right now about 28 mpg on average it depends on how i drive it

Dude the only engine that you should plan on putting back in that bay is another 420a. Period

i'm going to take a W I L D shot in the dark and say that you didn't do a search on this huh? no, i'm not psychic it's just that if you did you would realize that without spending 5-6 thousand dollars, you will NOT be able to do that swap. do a little research before you jump into anything.
