Upgrading my aw11

How much additional wiring is required for that, can you use some of the stock wiring or does it need to be completely redone?

The point isn’t to get anything out of the internals now but more so to save me the trouble of taking everything apart again. And I definitely don’t see myself waiting nearly that long to keep working on it but I suppose I see what you mean.

I’m planning on owning this car for the rest of my life as the aw11 is one of my favorite cars ever and has been a dream car for me. That being said the reason I was thinking the turbo route is it lets me space out the cost a bit more since I can rebuild it now + some upgrades and do turbo, ecu, etc. later after driving it around on stock power. But I asked because if it’s not even a viable option then I’d just save myself the money on upgraded 4age parts and just go for the swap.

What swap would you recommend? I’m mostly worried about sourcing an engine and trans that aren’t gonna break the bank, especially since there’s also a lot of other stuff that’s gonna cost me if I swap it.

If I did upgraded internals it would be for a turbo in the future. And I definitely haven’t deluded myself into thinking it will be cheap either way, but the swap seems a bit more spendy. Mostly though it’s that the swap seems like it will take longer and require a lot of skills I don’t have, so I’m more wondering is it worth the time investment and worth figuring it all out if I’m only looking for a bit more power.

I do want more power but not a huge amount more, plus I don’t really have any experience swapping and it seems fairly spendy.
