definitely swap. they are completely different engines and you will waste time and money only to wish you would have swapped down the road. you will never be able to run high enough boost to be really fast with the GS engine.

Yea, cause the compression is different and not setup for a turbo.

good luck finding someone who will want to do the swap. why spend $2500 on a swap to be able to keep up with another stock GS-T? Spend $2500 on your 420A and swap engine internals around or a turbo kit and pass a GS-T.

Some of you guys are underestimating the 420A. They're quite durable, and will hold up fine with forced induction. The 420A is kinda of an all around engine. It's almost as versatile as the 4g63, don't underestimate. I say buy a turbo kit and keep the engine. Remember ACR Neons have been a dominant factor SCCA for some time now.
