Well the motor I've looked at comes with a five speed FWD transmission and clutch assembly. Everyone I've talked to about having a turbo installed can't seem to give me a running figure on how much HP I can expect to achiever from having one installed.

Not to mention the cost. I was quoted 4500$ for a turbo to be installed on my stock motor. Not a bad price overall, but the motors I've been looking at plus installation will cost me roughly the same with a "guaranteed" (use that word lightly) substantial power increase (Over 100 HP in some cases).

Next comes the Mileage I have accumulated on the stoke motor already. My stock motor has 148,000 miles on it and investing 4500$ into it doesn't seem like a good decision especially if I can get a motor with 45,000 Miles.

Thank you for your response and the links. Both were helpful!
