Its an risky swap every swap is.. You could end up with bad engine.. Ask for warranty and check for people who got it from company/seller ask them to do compression test etc.

As for pricing here in Europe there is no big difference between v6 and 1.8.That extra cash you use to get an v6 is well spent.. look at new prices what did 1.8 cost at the time and v6 it was more expensive by over 30%.And in some countries its illegal to turbo and non turbo car without getting it tested.
No sound can beat an angry V6 engine or V8, maybe its just me but I thought my 2.0 v6 sounded good but this is pure sex to you'r ears ZE with racing headers mmm first time i fired it up it sounded like a angry panther lol

As for other costs.. Look at it this way.. you decide how much you want to change at the same time and what you want to do with the engine you want 220+ hp or little less. You could get just engine and drop it in. But there are million of small things you must get and they add up.. The basic most important things are timing belt/pump sparks/ fluids filters etc and of course clutch. I got exedy stage 1 clutch and its perfect.

I got the engine from

And im happy with my purchase. We had some problems with shipping company.. They wanted to rip me off for 300$ and he got trough for me he contacted them several times and ending up paying them the amount.. He could say hey **** it let him deal with it but he didn’t.
