What engine to use

I'm thinking of buying a 2002 P5 that needs a new engine, should i replace with the original or is there a diff. powerplant that would fit in the original hole that would perform better? By the way I think I can get this MP5 for $1500

buy the p5, contact Wagner Motorsports and order a built (forged) long block from them and turbo the crap out of it...with about $7500 (i8ncluding vehicle cost) you could have a FAST car.

i think what rod said would be the best thing to do

built motor (forged and ready for boost)

get a nice turbo put in, and u can crank up the boost quite nicely, and have lots of power

isn't there like a 300hp kit from hiboost or someone, i cant remember

Yup, HiBoost and forged internals would be really good
