Quote from: hairyhoover;5481691 day??!?!? does that include fuel lines, injectors, fpr new rad intercooler and all the other small bits? Thanks quick!

no...only the turbo converison...the other bits are kind of extras that you may not need with small turbos.  If you want to go with everything replaced then add another day or may be half:Giggle:Giggle

would it be best to do it to an engine that has had some sort of porting to it?
I\'m looking into going single, but a to4e or s, but am unsure whether its worth it as the engine has stock porting?!

Sorry about the hijack or ur thread!

id Fit What I Could Then Take To A Specialist To Finish Off, Fitting The Actual Kit Should Be A Walk In The Park, But Sorting What Goes, Stays Blanked, Routed Etc May Be A Bit Of A ****,

a T04E or T04S should be ok on stock ports.... oh did i mention i have a T04S kit for sale on here :driving

As pointed out above - I\'m in the wrong business!!!

Is that a justifiable price?? Jeez.. Roll on redundancy and subsequent retraining as a mechanic!!  :Giggle

davyv

A point on the £1000 days labour, do any dealers,of any make of car charge that much.

Quote from: davehg;548158its a lot of kit to haul up there to be honest lol..... sweetywells (chris) should now be an expert ha ha well i tought him all the swear words i know.......

yep i learnt quite a few swear words that day hehe i think that hardest part was getting all the old twin turbo stuff off, some of the bolts were very hard to get off and some even snapped off (i guess they had been on there for 15 years) fitting the single kit was pretty easy, although i had no idea what could be removed and capped etc in the rats nest thats where dave came in handy :)

I would work for a 3 years then retire if i could earn that a day, lol
