And people wonder why the 240/SR swap combo is so popular. Factory turbo setup, proper engineering, over-built bottom ends and in the long run way cheaper. Like the SVO (and most factory turbo cars), it is much easier to upgrade when all of the factory groundwork and years of testing/R&D from a major auto manufacturer.

To me, it just seems silly to throw all of that money away for the sake of being "unique." If I am going to stand by something in quotations, I prefer the following words: fast, reliable, cheap, properly engineered.

22k total for something that is easily eclipsed with a stock bottom end SR and 2k in upgrades. To each their own.

Moral of the story: A fool and their improperly spent money are soon laughed at.
