It is ALOT of work to do what you want.

If you really wanted to do it you should buy the entire car and swap everything over.

You will need the motor or custom make parts for the turbo oiling system.
Engine harness
engine computer
exhaust
coolant hoses and pipes
and I bet a few other things I forget at the moment.

'Buy the whole car and swap everything over other then the body and cosmetics'

But If I were you I will sell mine and buy a turbo model rather then going thru all those sleepless nights thinking about fixing one issue after another next morning.

The motor has some differences. The compression ratio is different.
But with Mods the GLT can be built up and produce much more power.
