won't drop right in. a lot of modification to the chassis has
to be made. take a look, even the tranny is on the other side
with turbo motors.

Consider selling your car and purchasing a GS-T/X also before you drop $3K on a turbo kit. You'll see much easier performance gains with the 4G63. However, if you love your car, turbo away, but the motor swap is almost unfeasible.

I think your 3 grand is seriously the moinority of what it would cost most. Unless you can do a lot of custom fabrication yourself and have a doner car. There are easier ways to spend your 5 months it took.
