That would be cool to have, but weren't they all naturally aspirated, or fwd, or something of the sort?

i thought of doing that when i was planning my car out but then i talked with my body shop guy and he said that because its not original it has a very strong chance of leaking when its first installed. if id doesnt leak at that time it will within the first or second year.

but thats just my input :P

all na, fwd, does'nt meen you can't do a swap.
im sure if you had a cage in the car, it would stop the body twisting if you converted it to awd turbo, or just fwd turbo.

i wanted to do that with my eclipse, called a few places they all said the same thing

icbc will not let you insure your car and if they dont notice that you do have a aftermarket targa they will not covver you in any accident.

cutting the roof membrains will alter the structural integrity of  your vehicle therefore making you car unsafe to drive therefor illegal.  i dont know if by installing a cage in your car will help you insure or cover your vehicle in an accident but i would ask icbc or a provincial inspection certified shop before doing it

good luck update if you find out

I would not recommend doing this on a unibody frame structure that was not designed for it. Unless you get a major roll cage, the frame will cave in on you.
