I'd check your math again. A good driver 6Turbo (one worth keeping for an extended period of time) will run you about $48k plus 10% in taxes, so around $53k. If you elect to sell the C4 you'd be extremely lucky to clear $8-9k with an IMS-popped engine in the back, meaning you're coming out of pocket, in a good case scenario, around $44k. Yes, I understand you can put a loan on the car and yes, I understand the Turbo has asset value, but for a car you never intend on selling that doesn't really factor into the conversation.

Dwain makes screamer motors that last. The latter point is extremely important as any shop can pull HP's out of these things, but he actually makes them durable. He's also honest; unfortunately a large part of your existing motor is probably unusable (crank, case, etc) that other shops would tell you they are then re-trade you after the fact. He'll be upfront about it and WILL ABSOLUTELY SAVE ANYTHING POSSIBLE.

The engine in my 996 race car is management by Vision...I highly recommend.
