Saw a used GT for sale, and have a question. The difference between the 180HP turbo and the GT is just the programming, right? What if I bought a 180 HP ECU and swapped it - I'd have a 180HP trubo on regular gas, right? Anyone have a feel for how much money? I could go back to GT by swapping & putting in premium.

The GT IS different than the 180 Hp engine. The GT has a MUCH stronger bottom end than the 180 Hp Turbo lite. The Turbo Lite is a stock PT engine with a turbo slapped on. Trying to twist more power out of it will result in a blown engine. The stock PT engine is just not strong enough to take much modding. Most of the people who are making big power have redone the whole engine.
