    Instead of a V8 swap I've been told to put a turbo.
    My engine is a 4y its equal to a 22r.
    What are the possibilities and will I get good results.

    with boost, how much $$ do you want to spend??? anything can be made fast just how much you willing to spend on it.

    a v-8 swap you can do for under 1000 and it will be more power more reliable than the turbo
