i have a stock '87 SE, n/a of course, and am wanting a turbo motor. i don't have unlimited amounts of money so that's why i'm kind of blocking out the FD motor. stock my motor is rated at 146hp and 136ftlb which get's me around but i want more power. and a turbo. i don' t think it'd be worth the hastle to rebuild my motor and turbo it rather than to drop a rebuilt TII motor. which do you think?

put a S5 turbo engine in your car..

if you want plug and play= S4 13BT
If you want to learn about electrical work= S5 13BT
If you want me to go invest in advil stock= S6 13B-REW

I would choose S4 TII.

Dont put a REW in the car. Just get an S4 TII or buy an FD.

is there really a difference in the S4 turbo and S5 turbo motor besides lighter rotors with a bit higher compression? cost and availability maybe?

thats pretty much what I thought?

The S5 housings are stronger than S4's too.

I think you should not even think about either.
If you're worried about money, you're looking at a money pit.
You really can't afford it.

Better intake manifolds & better turbo.
