im in Tampa FL but i could drive it somewhere in florida to get it done i dont have any parts except whats in my car i dont really know where to get a Turbo II motor or tranny etc and im kinda sketched out about getting one online. i love my gtu but it needs to be faster and this seems to be the best option for getting the power i want without getting a new car. im not a rich kid but im willing to pay in thousands however im new to the modified RX game so i don't really know a whole lot about them

There are a lot of options...Jesus Padilla at Kilo Racing in Orlando would be a good bet. Just be warned...you are paying someone else to do all the work and source all the parts...I would say that you are looking at a 5k-10k bill if you want to be realistic.

If I were you I would ask around in your area I'm sure you can find help! As far as a "$1600" TII swap that would be a waste of money IMO. You would be better off putting a turbo on your engine now with S4/S5 TII rotors!!! Now I'm not saying to do this but your just better off doing a rebuild not a "JDM 50,000 miles or less swap." I'm not guessing you can ask around good luck brother...
