Default 10,000 reasons not to do a Z32 NA -> TT Conversion

Now, I am not going to point any fingers as to the person who paid for this conversion or the shop involved, but it can readily be found on TTNet. I hope all noobs that ask this question take a long hard look at this...because if you dont know what you are doing this can be the result.

NA to TT conversion parts w/exchange of good NA parts......................= $4,000
-NA to TT conversion labor............................................. .....= $2,500
-TT Automatic Transmission w/exchange of my new NA..........................= $200
-Charge for my bad NA motor (usually 1,000).................................= $500
-Greddy turbo timer and harness........................................... ..= $125
-Greddy turbo timer labor............................................. ......= $100
-JWT Popcharger installed......................................... ..........= $95
-Z1 Stage 3 TT ECU upgrade........................................... .......= $300
-Apex-i AVC-R Boost controller........................................ ......= $450
-Apex-i AVC-R install (labor)........................................... ....= $195
-Z1 2.25" Stainless Steal Divorced Downpipes................................= $250

That's what happens when you don't source the parts yourself, install the parts yourself. Luckily, people pay people to do this stuff keeps places like XAT, ZFever in business

It'd be cheaper to sell the NA and buy a TT...
