new engine and conversion
A shop in North Carolina has given me a price to convert an automatic and install a new engine and turbos.Is this conversion a good idea.

More details. Do you actually NEED a new engine and turbos, or just switching from an auto to manual? What kind of shop is this? I would not trust a conversion like this to just anyone. The shop would have to be a respected tuner or someone they recommended.

$6000 for a new engine, new turbos and all the parts and labor involved in a automatic to 5 speed conversion is a REALLY good deal, but it almost seems too cheap, theres got to be a catch. If your in PA talk to George at Sevenspeed. He's a great guy and an excellent mechanic and is very knowledgable about 5 speed conversions (he did mine).

Also, for the engine and turbos, get the car checked out at KD Rotary in Nazareth, PA. www.kdrotary.com
They are one of the most respected engine rebuilders/tuners.
