It really all depends on what you want from a setup. The nice thing about a swap is you still have a base platform to grow on, especially if you put a turbo on the swap motor later. If you just want a decent amount of power you can put a Turbo on your D16. You can get the greddy kit for about 2200 w/ Intercooler. Where as youll be spending about between 2500-7000+ for a swap depending on if you do the work yourself and what motor you decide to go with.

I say if you want huge amounts of power then Go with the swap and turbocharge it later.

But if you just want some added power to your D16 then go with the turbo. (You could get a Greddy turbo kit in the 13's. With some internals and may have about the same amount of money in it as you would if you went with a swap.)

Basically depends on what your ultimate goal is. Good luck in your decision
