i no and dont think ya can beat the sound of a supercharger :p i no it usually costs around 5000 for a 1.8t conversion but surely it wouldnt cost anywhere near that for a g40? :s

It still wont be cheap dude, remember its the labour your paying for more than anything else.
The 1.8T conversion would be more expensive at around £6K + but finding a G40 engine wont be easy, most of them have done moon miles and I suspect you will still be looking at well over £3K for the conversion unless you do the transplant yourself

[gilbo-6n]

3k? thats more than i expected. just want somet with a bit more oomph without gettin raped by insurancevits rediculous how much its gone up
