The reason i'm looking into a turbo swap is cause my na motor is leaking oil and coolant and the other motor is also leaking oil and coolant (the reason it's goin for $800) but it comes complete and with intercoolers, ecu, wiring harness already wired up to swap into a na, radiator, and a boost gauge i have time and a place to park my car while i repair the turbo motor which will probably take me a while cause of my little nissan experience. hope i help you out and anybody feel free to correct me if you know or think other wise.
Thanks for the advice.
