How feasible is this swap and what do I need to purchase in terms of parts etc since the motor is already out? Can i swap for bigger twin turbo set-up of 13b rew?

I have found no threads, current about it. The motor is not that easy to find but I think with some tweaking it can be right, I saw "The Silver Bullet" up for aution on ebay and I was a bit captivated.

If you have a T2 then it is really easy (esp. if you already have a FMIC.) All you are gonna need is the engine, an EMS, and the mounts. Have fun...

It is very reliable... also, because of its stock potential, it is alot easier to push higher hp #s from it... 350hp dd isnt uncommon... But if you want higher hp (400, 500, or even 600hp) that is going to be harder to keep reliable on any car....

I did it, and have done four others. Not too hard of a swap if you keep it realtively stock. Mine of course is very modified, but nonetheless an easy swap.

Okay, are there any kits avail or is this all put together stuff, i.e. mounts etc. Tru about the reliabilty, but I am looking for 350-375 rwhp. I guessed an efini turbo set-up, plus a microtech and front mount should be good. Not too sure if I need extra injectors or a shot of nitros to the intercooler? I am going for the clean white look trying to keep it JDM like the cars I got as a kid in the caribbean. Right drive conversion would be nice too but that is just wishful thinking. I gotta keep the funds full, kid needs braces and wifey wants another bimmr as a project toy.
