Yes, it is possible, yes, it will require extensive modifications, and IT IS NOT WORTH DOING!

Sorry, but that's the most asked question here. Just search for the word SWAP and you will see.

Now this thread will evolve into 4-6 pages of the pros and cons of a turbo swap, and what to do and what not to do...etc. After which of course will be the 'I need more straight line acceleration' piece followed by a little street racing discussion...

Anyway, welcome to the club!
