Advice needed for twin turbo engine swap
Iv'e been offered a cheap twin turbo engine and im thinking of swapping it for my 1994 wrx engine. The wiring and the plumbing in of the new engine doesn't worry me, but I am wondering if it is really worth it! Will the twin turbo engine be any faster than the engine I already have which is running around 260bhp. I realise the twin turbo engine only has 280bhp but will it be faster 0 - 60mph for example as it has the two turbo's. And is this engine any better, for example does it havce forged pistons, closed deck, better heads ect.
Any help would be appreciated as im finding it hard to get much info on these engines.
Thanks
