Ok, NP the swap is easy.. The eletrical is the hardest thing. I know SP Engineeering and other shops have done it before where everything inside works just like stock. Well let me know soon. Thanks

gauges and everything should work except for VSC. Those lights were lit on my old car.

I believe the traction control has its own control box... Also deciding, use one of my spare 3.4 motor or just go "stock" with this one.. money in hand but hesitating.. use what I have and usse the rest of the money into a fuel system... when I decide and you still have it Ill let you know.. Pray I get bored, cuz I tend to buy things I dont need when Im bored.. LOL. But seriously Ill look you up first if I do decide to go this route...

This is not an easy swap by any means. It's not terribly difficult either. Don't expect to be able to buy this and just drop it in and be good to go. You will REALLY need to know what you're doing if you plan to swap it yourself(that's what I'm doing in my garage at home). The easy part is the physical and mechanical portion of installing the engine...hard part is wiring up all the electronics and getting everything to work correctly. The other option is to take it to a shop that has done this swap before and knows all the little ins and outs in addition to the little things to work out to have a fully functional car. Either way $2500 is an awesome price for all that stuff! If I had the money...I would buy this to have as a spare motor to do a race spec build up on the side 
If this thing is still available in a month(probably unlikely)...but if it still is I'm gonna be picking it up.
And yes, the stock twin turbos are coming off the moment I recieve the engine lol.

I would love to see someone build this motor and go with a HUGE single Turbo...

This is a great price!
JeffTsai, You are right this is far from a plug and play swap, it is rather difficult compare to many other swaps. I did this swap over three years ago, its worth every cent!
