My suggestion is to get a n/a fc in fair shape. rebuild the motor and street port it and you'll have no problem getting sideways.

There's plenty of room in the engine bay. The layout of the engine components is clean. The factory service manual is clear. Fastener sizes are sane. Obtaining parts is easy, and (relatively) cheap. Doing an engine swap is a one-man job.
usually get messed up, especially when drifting, but if its what you want than go for it. I personally would go with the GLX cause its a bit more reliable.
The only advice I can give a prospective rotary owner is: ask yourself if you're the kind of person that does things 'the right way', the first time. If you aren't, then don't get a rotary; you'll just blow it up and piss yourself off.

Granted your NA drivetrain might be ok after you install a turbo if your not racing around, but then whats the point of the turbo in the first place then
You can pick up a pretty good Tii for around 3500-400 depending on where you are and if its s5 or s4, so if the swap cost you 2000 and you got friends who can help you keep the price down- i guess it depends on how much you payed for the fc in the first place.
