1.8T engine conversion costs
« on: 05 September 2011, 21:06 »
Right i know brad has done his superb BAM conversion and i also know the cost of it, but how much have your standard AUQ AUM etc engine conversions cost, i am looking at doing one in the new year and want an engine that has done no more than 70k

What hidden cost are there, what the cost of the loom splining and engine management sorting

Cheers for looking

You can get an AUQ with loom etc for around £750 so £1500 should get you the conversion done.
