Exactly. To get it to fit properly, you'd have to re-pipe the turbo, at which point you're basically better off $$-wise by going with a turbo kit for the twins, as it's pretty much the same thing.

Now, if you have to replace a blown block and don't want to go built-motor yet, and already have a turbo kit, then if you can pick up one of these for about the same price as a fully built stock FA20 (block and headers).... THEN it'd make sense.

Otherwise, nope.
