It's better to turbo your 2.2, to swap it all..would be a nightmare.

spend a few grand on a turbo kit for the 2.2 and you will have a fun little car.

you can buy zzp stage 2 turbo kit. That's what I will be getting. Or you can piece together your own kit.

your internals can only hold about 250-260 whp. so if you're going to try to go big then be ready to upgrade the engine

^^^ This. But it'll be fun. Friend had a turbo'd 2.2 made probably around 250whp, beat the **** out of that car and it lasted 100k miles before it got totalled. When built properly they will last.

That's probably not an option for him. And wants to make what he has fun.
