Default how much does an engine swap (or turbo swap) cost>>>

i figure it costs the same since swapping turbos requires removing the entire engine - so i hear and read.

I'm comptemplating what I want to do as soon as I drive this car into the ground and since I love the car so much I was thinking of just keeping it and doing an engine swap with possibly a turbo upgrade. Your thoughts? I would also redo the suspension.

Good idea or bad? Cheaper or in the end more expensive and not worth - better off buying another car with lower miles and then doing the swap?

Default lol Been there done that. I think its better to get a new car with lower mileage.

Thats what I should have done instead of an engine swap.

Default 2nd. and while things are apart, you may as well build the new motor up.

swapping stock for stock should not be an option.
