The headswap is virtually imposible, but more than that, it is far too costly. To do it you would have tp have a few engines lying around, and a great amount of knowledge of welding and EFI wiring. + a stand alone FMU. All this boils down to.... Get a 4agze, have 170 Hp, and be happy.

Turbocharged engines generally last about 60k miles less than any other form of aspirated engine. (or so I'm told) Turbo's yield great amounts of heat.
