Many people told me that was the only way too. I said otherwise. I looked into it and you have several options.
1. spend $2k on cam, exhaust, port/polish, throttle body, high compression.
2. spend 200 bucks on an NF/NG engine with 130 hp stock.
3. get either the 2.5 eurovan block with 8.5 compression, or buy a 2.6 with 10:1.
4. do the MC turbo swap
5. do what i did, bolt on a turbo onto your existing JT engine. It works beautifully and I can describe everything for you if you'd like. IT DOES WORK. I can prove it with simple specs from the factory engines vs. the JT engine if you are concerned, plus I've BTDT and it does work.
That last option is cheapest and gives you a great kick in the ass :)
