You could probably buy a jspec engine and put it in there at the same cost (maybe less, or more) for how much it would cost to turbo the NA motor. However, it all depends on what you can do yourself. I suggest you look at aaron cakes website (aaroncake.net I believe). Hes like the turbo'd NA pioneer

Putting the engine/tranny in would probably be easier. As long as you had all the proper wiring harnesses and ECU. Why dont you just sell your GXL and buy a T2?
