Turbo, or just swap the engine?!

Why pay $3000 for a turbo kit which gives 50 HP, instead of switching to a more powerfull engine for less $? Warranty issues? That's all I can think of, or possibly lack mounts? Let me know.
the problem is no aftermarket support, for example--> motor mounts, shift linkage, cv axles, etc
everything would have to be custom. Hopefully someone'll give us some help down the road.

Depends on your emission requirements also. Swapping an engine and getting it passed and legit in Cali for a new car with an older engine? Good Luck...
Either some mild boost or just enjoy it for what it is...

Thankyou for the responses. I was seiously wondering about that one. The Cali emission thing I understand cause I'm a Nor Cal native, but all the after market stuff I did'nt know about.

Greddy claims 53% hp gain. On a 105 hp motor thats 50 hp. And they don't even claim at the wheels. And btw, the idea is to get abou the same hp as the turbo kitm but for less money, not to get some insane amount of hp from a motor instead of a turbo kit. Dig it?
