But you do realize that after 5 years, you have only saved $3000, and how much will a TT conversion cost you?
Also the VR4 will still be worth more than a TT SL...the AWD and AWS on the VR4 are what help to make the VR4 badass. Also if you wreck the TT SL and do not have your insurance upgraded to reflect the thousands of dollars in upgrades, you will only get the value of the SL. I would think about all the pros and cons first...not saying you haven't, just my 2 cents.

 

how much do you guys spend on insurence for ur vr-4's? im only spendin 800 year

 

don't feel so bad, i have a '99 3kgt SL and i am paying near 2k a year on insurance.

 

OK here is where I can shed some light for you guys.

I AM a FWD NA converted to TT on my stock NA 10:1 compression motor. I did it myself with a LITTLE help from a mechanic for welding. Its MUCH MUCH easier to TWIN TURBO the Na 3s than to single turbo it. EVERY part from a VR4 will bolt onto a NA and make it TT. The only REAL issue is the electronics and fuel control. it took me a long time to work that out but its very possible. I did the upgrade for the same reasons you all are pointing out, saved money on insurance, and believe it or not, got better gas mileage too! I would hope that you all would just understand thats how it works. ALSO, a boosted NA motor is faster than a stock or even BPU VR4. Sure there is a launch difference but the NA motor will reel in and pull away from the VR4. I have DONE IT and SEEN IT. No its not a driver issue. The 10:1 compression makes for more power at less boost. There are more limitations to the higher compression, but for daily driving its better IMO.

For those in here that are SERIOUS about having a FWD TT, I am selling mine in order to build another project NON TURBO Stealth. If you have questions, let me know. I CAN answer them.

I might be contacting you because my friend just bought a NA 3000GT and has some extra cash and wants to turbo it. First though I have to help her put in a manual transmission.

 

She bought a NA ATX and wants to covnert to MTX and TT? Well...you are looking at a little bit of work but its possible. Not cheap. But possible. I am always avialable for questions or help. Where are you located?
