disavantages: requires major expensive turbo kit, custom ECU, bigger injectors to do it right, weak pistons and rods from factory.
SR advantages: lighter, very durable factory turbo parts, more performance parts available
disadvantages : good luck wiht water and oil pumps if you have a problem....same goes for a lot of other crucial electronics. install is somewhat more involved than just a turbo kit.

thanks this is some of what i was looking for
im trying to research before i commit to something
theres alot of options im looking at and im still not sure with what route to go
and i did ask some of the FA people kris :-p
ooooh and im soooo getting a 5 speed swap now
i got to drive Jerry's car....OMG i want a 5 speed
what a stupid mistake i made
You might as well go SR then. Otherwise you will wind up spending a lot more in a tranny AND all the stuff for a turbo.
But really I'm afraid that you're going to have the turbo kit that never gets put on...
