Like Faithless stated above, a swap would cost you more and give you less power compared to a turbo straight up. Unless you of course do a swap then turbo the swap that's a different story. But if that's not the case and you want a instant gain in power, id just put in a turbo. Not sure about your laws or if you are on your P's like i am so be careful with turbo as it may be illegal like it is here in VIC.
