That's a fair bit more than $10-$12k, even with selling the NA I'd say...


Yeah, so just get one of those cheap SPs instead. You won't need to replace turbo then. Mind you, the drivetrain .........
UK since return: Standard NC2 (horrid), C200K, ND2 BBR, NC2 BBR200 (loved it), NC BBR300 (better than BARMY), V-Special, turbo NB8B (my 84th car)
