Not worth the trouble IMO. Just take the money you would be spending all all that crap and buy a full 3sgte clip. Swap is much easier, more reliable, and has much more potential. Actually... if you aren't too emotionally attached to your car.... just sell it and buy a stock turbo.

This is a pretty good read.... http://warp.scl.utah.edu/mr2/Turbo5sfe.html

I personally don't feel anyone on a budget should be heavily modifying a car... especially if it is their daily driver.

budget + mods = bad
if the parts were free, then its 100% profit sell them on here/mr2oc ebay or whatever. then use that money plus budget for turbo mr2
