Whatever you think is the best swap. There is no best, only what you like and what you can afford.

I would have to agree with QuadCamSix... But if your hellbent on doing a swap, the easiest and cheapest would be the 3sgte turbo. It is best suited for a transplant into your car/engine bay. Not to mention all the aftermarket performance parts availability and support.

yes.
best way to do the swap is from a "clip", which is basically half of a car, shipped to your door.

Best turbo upgrade, for your wallet, a dyno queen, a DD, an autocrosser etc etc. Don't be so vauge in your questions. Be as specific as possible.
