i wouldnt exactly say that guy, i have a close friend who has a cobalt SS with lots of upgrades putting down close to 400whp. My friend Zach has a gen2 3s in his mr2 witha ct27 and a few other things and he eats that cobalt alive everytime. dont under estimate a 3s. Just saying.
as for a swap do lots of reading and saving. and either do it yourself or pay tweak or ats to do it. |

one thing you can do is go to the junk yard and get a used turbo
out here i can get one for about 75$ and then the install isnt that hard |

spot on. 3 swap is about 15mpg, plus time you will be without transportation. never swap a daily, unless you know what your doing, can do it quickly, AND quickly fix all the grimlins that pop up in the mosst inconvienient times
