Answers:

which truck is better a dodge ram or a ford?

It depends on how well the engine has been taken care of. Regular maintenance, oil changes when their due, that sort of thing. It also depends on who installs the turbo. You can't just slap one on and expect it to work correctly. Basically they need to know what their doing. There could be alot of differences between the turbo and NA models. Compression ratio, fuel injectors, computers.

They can be reliable if done correctly.

What is needed to swap a B16A or a B18 into a 1998 Honda Civic DC?

It is gonna be a few more bolts than just the turbo. This may run you anywhere from 1K-5K in parts. If it is done right, you shouldn't have any problems with the engine.

My SVX has. . .?

It wouldnt be entirely too safe. Oh you could do it and it would be pretty easy to do but the stock motor would take a beating. You say "only" 140K miles but thats a lot buddy. The pistons and everything else would take one hell of a beating if you were to turbo the thing.

Any 1980 240d mercedes still running?

If the parts are done by a qualified person, then you won't have problems because a 2.2ltr engine has the strength to handle the pressure performed by the turbo.

Fix for peeling door handles on Honda Pilot?

i would reccomend a swap because your car is high mileage right now. and if you wanted to run a turbo off another subie. then you would still need like enginemangement and stuff too. its a bit more complicated then simple bolt on unfortunately.

Having problems with a 2000 Chevy Cavalier. HELP!?

Yes you can, if it's done right by a professional. Only problem is finding the exhaust manifold that will fit. Keep in mind though that any modification like adding a turbo will make the engine slightly less reliable as well as consuming a lot more fuel. I had a 2.0 N/A engine before and I was getting 30-35mpg. Now that I have my WRX, I'm getting 20-24mpg on the same size engine.

I have 2002 jeep Cherokee when i apply the brakes the left brake light is dim?

Other posters have described what is involved so I will tell you that it is "do-able" but the cost to do it right is going to be pretty expensive and you might as well just save the money and buy a WRX in a few years.
