so i have an S4 NA that needs a new engine... well i was thinking of getting it rebuilt but i want turbo. i know you can swap turbo 2 engines but that seems like a hassle. i was wondering if it was possible to rebuild my NA into a Turbo 2 engine. of course id have to buy the turbo, intercooler, etc... but is that possible or does it even matter? can i just take the turbo 2 turbo parts or do i need the whole turbo 2 engine? my only concern with turbo 2 swapping is i dont know how easy they are to find and for a decent price.. plus even then it might need a rebuild. so thats why im wondering if i can rebuild my NA into a Turbo 2 without having to just buy a whole new turbo engine.

 

SEARCH and you will find all the info you can stand.

 

Read the faqs - the info is there. And yes you can, but there is a whole lot of custom fabircation involved in turboing an na engine. It is FAR easier and cheaper to just swap in the whole turbo engine.

 

turbo housing and n/a housings are different.

 

Yeah, but they can still be used. You just have to get coolant from somewhere besides the housing. The problem is that you need a spacer for the turbo to clear the NA intake, plus you have to custom fab several intake and exhaust components to get everything to work.
