The swap, as cool as it could be, is sort of cheating.
Yes you have a point about cheating, but to do a proper turbo build with all the fixings and to do it right your in swap territory money wise, which to me is a slam dunk as far as reliability. A buddy of mine who will have a build thread very soon is going to see how cheaply a swap is going to be, all he is waiting for is Vorshlag to sell him a stage 0 kit. So far he is off to a very good start and has already sold hjs FA20 with only 9k miles and got a swinging deal on a Vortec 5.3 built $800.00 and a T56 for $100.00, dont know how he swung that for the tranny but he did and its not a POS but a low mileage unit....so far he is a net gain on the swap,.....couple that with the new MRS Electronics gateway for can-bus instead of a standalone im extremely curious how cheap his swap is going to be......Im guessing under 10k because of the low mileage sale of the FA20. Its going to depend on what Vorshlag charges for the stage 0 kit.
