If you like an engine with lots of low-end grunt, avoid the 20v- just pick up an ordinary supercharged 4agze. The swap is easier and cheaper anyway.

The 20v has slightly more torque than the ordinary 4age, and makes it at a much higher RPM. It's pretty weak down low. The 20v doesn't really handle boost very well, and it's already tuned close to it's max, so you aren't going to get much more out of it reliably.

If you like winding the engine out to 8k+ rpm, the 20v is great, but it sounds like you would enjoy the 4agze better.
