I dont know what to do!! I wanna get a Turbo 13b engine swap into my non-turb0 87 rx-7 and nobody here will do it!! They are all telling me that i should get a sr20det engine swap instead. I went to the mazda dealership and they told me that they wont touch a turbo but they'll do a non-turbo swap!! What should i do?

Did those people pay for your car? Are they paying for another rotary?

Do what you want. It's your car, your money, and you are the one who will be driving it.
