Guest Jims Twin Turbo Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Hi Guys, Have a question here that im sure has been asked a million times... However i couldn't find anything on the site (bearing in mind i only had my lunch break to look) Im looking to buy next year and i want an Aerotop, Twin Turbo, no doubt about it.. But whats the cost/complications of getting it changed to manual? I want the roof off in the Summer but cant live without my stick! Do you know anyone in the UK thats done this? Cheers. Jim.

jackso11 Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Hey, I thought about doing this when I got my sup. Looking around it seemed to cost about £6000-7000 for the car....and about £8000 for the conversion. There are lots of details on this site about it. Went for an N/A in the end, as I wanted a manual and turbo manuals seem to pricy. Will be changing in a couple of years when I can afford the upgrade!

And as he wants a TT aero, it'll probably cost a little more than your £6000-7000 for the car too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can do it for about £3-£3.5K. The only difficult bit is cutting and shutting the manual tunnel onto the auto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
