"easier" is a relative term here, since both can lead to issues and headaches. A TT kit setup will probably be the easier of the two and require less work/fabrication.

However, Classy will tell you that the VQ is a garbage engine and you should LS swap it.

Is this even serious, first of all a tiny *** ebay twin turbo kit will be worse than a viper v10 in terms of power. But a massive twin turbo set will be a better option over swapping for a Prius engine. Seriously is this a damn serious question or is this another teeny brat with more talk than cash and only car knowledge comes from fast and furious movie?

Be helpful? How about a forum full of hundreds of the same information on this already. That doesn't include Google.

My friend, that comment was tongue in cheek, as I had not contributed anything to this thread at all. And there is sentiment/push to be nicer to new members.

Sorry my attempt at humor failed to amuse you ,perhaps I will make you grin on the next one.

Take care.
