Question Sport to Turbo.....

Quite Simply how easy is it ???

I have potentially got a Sport and i already have an engine, gearbox & ECU from an STi.

Is it a simple swap or is there a lot involved ??

Chris.

Its a different car; all the Sport is, is a 2 litre GL fitted with a few superficial parts that make it look similar to a Turbo. Every mechanical part will need to be changed, the end result will have cost a fortune and be difficult to insure.

yeah mate, just sold my sport and looking for a turbo myself, everything from the dials to the seat belts is different.

Didn't seem worth it for me

It's quite complex... if you look out for NWS on www.imprezasport.net he has done it on his after his engine let go.
I think you will find your better off buying a Turbo to start with as you have the whole package... it's a lot more than just engine to consider.
