Is it worth making a NA turbo?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...481499850&rd=1

I got to drive this, and got the FC bug. It seemed a little sluggish though. How hard is it to turbo the NA engine, and how much should I expect for it to cost? This engine was just rebuilt, so I dont think a swap is worth it

Thanks for whoever can help me

I would say this-if you don't have your FC yet and you want turbo, it's a hell of a lot easier and less expensive to just buy a turbo model. It's much harder to find though, especially here in NC since you almost never see a turbo model for sale.

Of course, I'm an NA man myself...
