Twin Turbo Series 5

I was wondering if anybody knows of the difficulty and cost of putting a 13b Twin Turbo into a S4 S5???
I went to a bloke who said 15k australian (7,809.05 USD
) $$ for the transplant but have seen one with the conversion for sale for 6k (3,123.50 USD) so am a little unsure to what its worth. Thanx

If your talking about a "series 6" 2nd gen (ie FD engine), there are 2 people on the forum that have done it. Can't remember who but check around.

~8k USD is an absolute JOKE for the kind of performance gains you would get. I would seriously rather go with a 13B-RE, buy cosmo motor mounts from k2rd, and run the stock twins un-sequentially with a Haltech. You have ultimately more potential from a 13B-RE engine than an REW, should you choose to upgrade to a single.
