Default Engine swap ideas for my 90

A while ago I thought it would be cool (especially if I had the money) to swap my sluggish 2.8 for oh i dunno,....... the S4-Biturbo. lol,..... but I figured that would be TOO expensive. So I started thinking of different swaps..... a 10V, 20V, or 3.0L? A 2.7t? Just givin myself some ideas for when and if I have the money. Any suggestions? ideas? comments?

S4tt engine IS the 2.7t...

in order of expense, by my guestimates (lowest to highest):
10vt (assuming you stick with CIS!), 1.8t, 20vt, 3.0l 30v, 30vtt

Which would be easiest? Maybe the 3.0l 30v?

There would be hurtles to overcome with any of those swaps, from a wiring standpoint, and just plain old fitting the thing in (engine mount issues on the 4cyl).

I'd probably go for a 2.8L 30v, with a PES s-charger on it, personally.
