thanks guys.. would you happen to know if the t5r engine would be a direct swap with the n/a motor?? meaning the motor mounts and n/a tranny would be a direct match, or would i have to switch a couple of things??

This is a much better idea then turboing your NA. Which is exspensive and time consuming.

Others have asked thus question and the answer I have heard most often is sell the NA car and buy a turbo. It will be much cheaper in the long run.

But I think some people have some type of attachment to their own car and many choose to swap..

I'm with everyone, additionalturbocharging without additional reinforcement or mods can only shorten usable life of the car, as it's over-stressing many components. But some people seem to want to "Driftise" their cars, especially RWD cars.
Well, this is a personal preference after all. On Volvos, stock turbo seems to produce enough punch, unlike some Saabs. But the performance at lower RPMs, especially below 3,000 RPM, seems sluggish on 850s.
Good day,

However, it's nice because you can save on gas a little bit..
