i hear you on the financial setbacks. i don't think i'll be able to get anything for my civic in damn near a whole year (or probably more if things don't pick up). . . what i'm aiming for is a swap first, then turboing... sure, you can turbo your d16, put good numbers down and be happy with it, but sooner or later you're going to want more (it's an addiction, isn't it?). . . swapping your engine gives you the alternative to add on to that new powerplant through forced induction. . . but it's going to be a long hard and expensive road. . . i know i won't be seeing results in my car for a long long time
