Vendor Idea

[quote=""Brandonscar""]How much does the guy charge to rebuild them?

Mods - Booby is a friend he isn't trying to pump me up for a sale or anyhting like that so it doesn't violate the no selling rule.

In fact I am sure he ment 75 durians and not $. [/quote]

I think like $700. and I'm not sure about shipping but that isn't to much

[quote=""Gatecrasher""]That's a real easy bet to make since the FWD 5-speed tops out at about 155 [/quote]

glad someone caught that

[quote=""vr4""]ok...hows 40-120 sound?


im still waiting for a FWDTT to run. [/quote]

That's a bet I honestly wouldn't feel worried about taking. I've got a 13G and a 14B car (both running 15psi or more and 2nd gens) under my belt (with me at 10psi on 9b's). I won't claim my car is fast by any means, but ask anyone who's driven it and you will be told that it's a fun car to drive. The power delivery is phenomenal and you can definitely feel the 500lbs weight differential.

So if you were a vendor doing this kit, you could buy up worn 9b's, get them rebuilt for $700.

Offer them in the kit at say $900 as rebuilt 15G's.

The ECU is the next epensive part.

After that most of those gaskets and pipes seems to be fairly inexpensive.

I am just saying this seems to be viable to offer as a kit. All though 15G's on a FWD TT might be a bit much, but selling a 15G conversion kit would be bad ass.

[quote=""Hannibalzero""]There's nothing wrong with turbo-charging an NA car. Just don't expect it to automatically be a race car. One of my cars is almost stock aside from the TT conversion. It has more power than it did when it was NA, and is still comfortable to drive.[/quote]

I agree with you totally, it was a great project and after I enjoyed doing it. And its a nice conversation starter too at car/engineering things.
