swapping is less a pain than botsting a na.

If you get a T2 drivetrain, all you have to do is install it (motor, trans, ECU, harness). If you turbo an N/A you have to deal with tuning a standalone ECU, doing all the wiring, and making sure your turbo is well suited to the motor. And that is just the beginning. I am sure there are many small obstacles you would have to deal with.
