How much would it cost to get a turbo engine fitted in place of my current? I will have all the parts needed for the conversion (engine is already turbo'd), so basically need someone to fit it all in and set it up for me to drive away?

Rough costs?

TIA

what engine do you have in mind as fabrication will bump the costs up a good deal if theres alot to modify to get it in the e30 then the managment side correct diff prop ect.

Conversion's already been done, all parts have been fabricated etc etc

Just needs fitting into another E30 (my cabby) and management setting up again.

I know Ant does it on here but he's quite a distance from me.
