so right nowi have a ka24e and i want a solid turbo set up that's the best bang for the buck. i also want one that can also be switched over to the ka24de when i engine swap.

any suggesttions??

I suggest you sell it and buy a justy.

whats a justy? when you go to swap to the twin cam motor youll need a different manifold. other than that everything else should work depending on what engine management you go with. a solid setup is one that is well tuned.

I second that, invest your money in engine management,

i would swap a DE first then go turbo, that will eliminate all the guess work out of what can be transferred over.

yeah your IC piping, downpipe, and manifold will probably all be different when you switch engines, along with uprated injectors/ fuel rail and possibly your fuel management...about the only thing that would remain constant would be your tubo and intercooler...

Actually changin over wouldn't require a lot of changes. The only real big difference would be the location of the throttle body and the manifold. But trying to build a manifold to put the turbo in the same place would require some good planning and set-up. And I would agree with Checkered Member and swap in the new motor first.

When the swapping the engine costs less than even the cheapest new turbo, and it gives you a 15hp increase, I just don't see how you could not want to do that first. :)
