JDM engines are junkyard motors,you buy one and it has 2 get rebuild.You have a S4 car and that website does not tell you what series motors are they............ they just noted 87 to 91 and that is not enough info.You have 2 request a S4 motor.You need more that just a engine.........
Turbo ECU
Turbo flow meter
Turbo map sensor
Downpipe
Throttle cable
Turbo tranny
Turbo rear end
Turbo driveshaft
Your wiring harness has 2 be modified a little bit
and a lot more 2 do it right.

so weres the best place online to order one with most of everything

Ionix 11-20-13 01:44 PM

and what price range am I looking in

joeylyrech 11-20-13 02:12 PM

Sell the na car and buy a turbo car or if you can buy a turbo 2 parts car then you are good 2 go.Full turbo swaps are getting hard 2 get,hell turbo FCengines are almost non existant and the ones that you see online are mostly boat achors.

Of course if you have the budget you can get a core build 2 suit your needs and bypass all the OEM crap and run a standalone.
