Man, you guys make it sound so hard, lol. Not to worry, If I actually go that route, I do have about 12k in tools and an auto shop to help the situation. Not to mention Any labor for welding flanges or whatever would be mostly beer, as I know a guy, and have the welding equipment at the shop. I could give a shot to welding it up myself, but I'm a bit brutish with that stuff, I can stick things together, but it won't be pretty.

Making more power in the car really isn't an issue, If I wanted to fab something, I could. Hell, I could still build a N/A motor if I wanted to, but I'm not feeling paying for a ton of one-off machinework.

So yea, all costs would be parts only, and I can source parts pretty easily. Like I said, I was just seeing if anyone knew of any aftermarket support. I couldn't find anything and was just hoping I missed something.

Not that I mind changing motors, As I said, the chassis I have is sweet, Clean body (a few dings) clean interior and no squeaks, clunks wobbles or anything from the suspension. Aside from the lack of power it's a great car. A 1.8t would be a fun build, but I'd like something a bit more unique if I were to do that, so I'm poking around at the 2.2 turbo 5. I dunno if it would even fit, the v6 is pretty tight in there.
