None will drop in. You can either turbo your stock engine, or get the whole turbo car.

Not for 2000-3500$...:cwm27:, If you want to put a turbo engine on it you have to spend the money on the engine (like $1200) and then pay to someone to make the mod and mounts to put it on your engine bay. Or do it your self spend like 6000 i think that thats the price Joe said it would cost (not sure)
Check the FAQ there is something about it.
And about the sebring engine, 1st what's the adventage of the engine is a V6 140hp thats it, Am i wrong?, 2nd you have to buy the engine maybe the same price + o -, then mod your engine bay even more cause that engine looks bigger and the mounts again, pluss your are gonna need a new harness and ecu (I think,not sure about that). 3th what the difference with the 420a engine (RS-GS):eek7:???

you really dont have a wide variety when it comes to "dropping" and engine into your car.
