Should I buy, will it work?

I found one of these garret kits for sale for $1000 and was wondering if it would work on my SE

This is the kit http://pbgarrott.tripod.com/pgsupercharger/index.html
http://www.geocities.com/boatseason/rx7.html

Or i could buy it with a complete S4 motor that has been rebuilt with 10k miles for $2000

Which would be the better option, to buy the whole motor and swap it in, what all is involved with that, i know they have the 4 injectors to the SE's 2 so its not a plug and play.

BTW I was planning on rebuilding my motor anyhow. Any tips advice ect is welcome.

The best option but I dont have the money for it buy the supsercharger and the motor and put in a haltech/microtech.

Thanks
Greg

You mean like an old Nelson-Paxton SC? I haven't thought about those things in years.

Its a nelson kit, mariah used to sell them.
Ive read some places that it will work on a SE with a little modification but I havent seen it on any.
My only problem is that the more I think about it, I think I need a stand alone computer, and thats not really in the cards right now.
