As someone with a 10VT in their 80 and former 20V owner I can say unless you
intend to track the car a 20VT is overkill. I would also suggest you
seriously evaluate your mechanical skills or bank account. The turbo swap is by no
means a bolt in proposition. Lots out there have done it and may say it is
easy. If so, ask them how much they would charge for doing the swap on your
car. Getting the engine in is probably the easiest thing. Installing a CIS
and intercooler, decent exhaust system is much tougher. Aftermarket EFI is a
great choice, but nothing out there is a bolt in system. Lots of little
surprises and chances to screw up.
That said, the 10VT with low teens boost is pretty reliable, gets mid 20's
MPG and is an absolute giggle to drive. It will humble many cars and is one
of the best all time sleepers. My 20V was plenty fast, but the turbo 10V has
better power that starts at lower revs and pulls harder.
Feel free to contact me off list for more details. If you live near Bucks
County PA stop by for a test drive too.
