installing 10v Tubo in a 90q20v



I'm not all that serious in doing this, but I am still curious......

I know the NA 20V engines are really nice (and expensive) motors. However,
lack of performance modifications seem to be its biggest shortcummings.
Yes, the motor is quite powerful (164-172hp) but you really need to rev the
piss outa it to get into bulk of the power.

What do you think about doing an engine swap with a 10v Turbo?

I would imagine you could sell the 20v powerplant for enough to buy a
rebuilt & modified
10v Turbo unit, or could you?

Not knowing too much about the 10v Turbo motor, I don't know what kind of
HP increases we would be talking about but I would bet you could get 250hp
woithout too much work.

Do you think the 10v turbo would fit?
Would the exaust (cat back) need to be replaced?
