No downside. I am currently doing the swap for my vert. Its been very time consuming, due to the fact that most of the bolts havent taken off in quite some time, so it makes taking them off a bit of pain, especially if you strip a bolt or break the head. Other than time as a concern, money is a factor too. If money is an issue, buy a TII rx7 and just swap all the parts onto your car. Its actually cheaper. All in all, you'll have fun with the turbo. Hope this helps.

That downside is that is time consuming, requires spending of money, will be a disaster if you don't know what you are doing, and often balloons into much more of a project.

The upside is that you end up with a turbo drivetrain afterwards.

Note that this is also the most commonly covered subject on this forum. Check the FAQ, and run a search on "turbo swap".
