97 Mirage coup 1.5 Engine Help

[Pog]

Ok so heres my dilemma, I just got my mirage 2 days ago, its a 97 DE 1.5 coup. I wanted to put a turbo on it, I know I'd need the whole turbo kit. But when I started looking at turbo kits they all were very expensive, not a bad thing just made me think if it might be possible and cheaper to do an engine swap with an already turbo engine. Any Advice? i.e. If I did an engine swap are there any suggestions as to which engine to swap with? Or is it less of a headache to just put the turbo kit on the already existing engine? Also new to the whole turbo thing, what are the parts I will need if I put the kit on? i.e. actual turbo, blow off vavle ect..?
I think thats it,
Thanks! ^^

do you know the web site for the turbo kits, are there turbo kits for the 97-98 stock motor because doing the swap is way more money and too much work. i want to know because i am going to buy a 97 mirage 4 door with a 98 motor......thanks please help.....

im swapin my 1.5 out of my 98 DE Coupe and im putting a Talon TSI 4g63 into it so yea idk its not gonna be that expensive since i already own the 4g63 engine but yea i think it would be smarter to buy the already turboed engine u will get better mpg and it will be faster because the 4g63 is bigger...
