turbo or vg33

ok ive had non turbo and turbo 300zx's. i recently jus got another one its a 86 na 5spd. is the vg33 swap worth it NA and can i use the same mods like headers intake manifolds and what not? or should i jus turbo it? or can u turbo the vg33? that would probably be better. and how hard is it to change the crossmember for the motor mounts so the turbo will fit? and also the computer was burned. and i noticed the turbo 280zx has the same hook ups. and JWT uses z31 ecus for the 280zx turbos so does that mean i can use my turbo 280zx ecu on my Z31?

vg33e<vg30et<vg33et. if you can only do one, go turbo. the vg33 can also be turboed, and that would be slightly better. realise that there is a lot more to turboing either of these motors than just bolting a turbo on.

Well yea I know I can't jus slap a turbo on. This isn't my 1st turbo car. I've had a few 300's and besides jus puttin new motors I haven't really torn the vg down. I'm jus exploring my options to see what I want to do with it. I usually build 280z and zx havnt done much with the 300 yet

Principles are the same, no matter which Z you are talking about.
