Luckily turbos are not too expensive for the sw20 but they are not the easiest cars to work on. You are very limited on space. Are you leaning towards finding a clean original one or doing a swap? There are some here who have done the V6 swap and are very happy with them. Or just get an NA and swap a 3s into her. Anyways, welcome and let us know what your plans are as they unfold.

i agree. plans always work better than no plans
im not sure which i will go for.
i just talked to my dad about it and he doesnt think i should buy one because his friends back in the 90's had them and both of them had lots of issues with them always breaking down and such. any word on this?
as for swaps, im rather mechanically enclined so a swap is do-able.
what is the v6 swap out of? i havent seen anything on that yet
i'd like it to be a daily car so i need reliability more than anyhting else
