Default good trade???

I have a built ls/vtec push 211 whp and 143 lbs. of tq. On nitrous it gets 252 whp and about 185 tq. I know someone with a turbo gsr eg hatch and he just purchased a is300 that he is putting a tt 2jz in, so he doesnt need two turbo cars. He isnt even sure he wants to do it yet, but should I trade him my motor and $1500 for his swap installed? He would be doing all the work. His car runs just over 300 whp and just about the same tq on 12 lbs of boost. On race gas it can go safely to about 18 lbs. I would also be keeping the nx nitrous setup and throwing it on the motor. My motor has about 50,000 on it and his has about 10,000. He has had no problems and would be including all of his gauges and stuff too. He has a sweet looking ram style manifold by the way.......opinions?

Is his motor built/Stock internals?.What kinda tuning does his car have?.If his motor is built also I would say thats a decent deal..Cause It will cost you more to turbo your motor and have it tuned..

it is built but I dont know what pistons and what not. My motor is built for high compression. It would be a lot of work and a lot of money to change it. I either leave it the way it is or trade if he will

It would be worth it to trade...You looking at around $3,000 just to turbo yours.
