5k including suspension, clutch, ecu and exhaust. all of which would be needed on a turbo. in fact, the only redundant item would be my header.. think before you post mate :thumbsup:

if i'd gone and forked out for a turbo conversion, it would have set me back a further 3-4k easy- and that would be a slap on turbo hand-grenade. i'd rather try and do things properly the first time, especially when doing a turbo.
