Well after talking to Matt last night while i was at work.. i know what i want to do under the hood now... forget a swap i just don't want to deal with all the problems.. so i will be throwing my hat into the 5sfte club.... I already started looking for parts... i'll keep everyone updated as the parts come in...

i have modest goal (i feel they are)...
190-200whp...

Right on, man. Im concened about lack of motor tuning options with the car but I've done alot of research so far and the turbo 5s seems the best way to go. So far I'm convinced that light pressure (stock internals, no ic, 5-6 psi on a little turbo, ~150@wheels) is the best bang for the buck. I also think the supercharger kit mentioned in a recent thread has potential.

Turbo I think is much better than the swap! Who wants to put down 300 thru the front wheels anyhow?

*No offense swappers! =) You guys have pulled off a big job!
