Sim's Gsi

Right been on here a while now, so I thought I would start a wip thread. My cars a 1992 cavalier Gsi 2wd. The plans are to whack a turbo lump in and make it a fast road cav.

I totally understand that you would want to modify your gsi but would it not be cheaper just to buy a turbo? Could be cheaper to insure too. Declaring a different engine could be costly..
