I won't be alone in the swap, and I have plenty of tools with which to do it. The only thing that boggles my mind is that a lot of people keep telling me to just go buy a turbo car... I HAVE A TURBO CAR.
However, The turbo car is not in the condition that I want, nor is it in any condition that I can afford to fix everything, and then not sell it. I think 5 days should be enough to get it all swapped, and both running again.
N/A car to Turbo!

A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks others have thrown at him.

Why don't you gut the NA car and put the parts in the turbo?

It's not completely impossible, however it's a huge undertaking.
I wish you the best of luck, and if you're taking off work for this might wanna plan in a few extra days
Good Luck!

Speed has never killed anyone, suddenly becoming stationary... That's what gets you.
