Millsy Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Glad you're enjoying it mate. How much more in control do you feel with the manual on the backroads? I've always thought it would make a fair bit of difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooquicktostop Posted March 3, 2007 Author Share Posted March 3, 2007 Nice work mate. The Turbofit boys must be millionaires by now from all of the Supe owners. They are doing well I am sure but only because they are genuine and very good at what they do, they are also investing it back into the business and making the workshop even better and will include a rolling road soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iain2010 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Fair play! Is it true that there is a bit of a waiting list to get hold of these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheChin Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Could i ask how much it cost? I am looking to get mine done, do u have to supply the parts and just pay for the labour or are the parts supplied. Thanks, a ball-park figure would do fine if you didnt want to disclose your financial situation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jspec Germany Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 I am curious as well. Could you PM me the cost of the manual conversion only with parts/labor. Also, I need the location of Turbofit (nearest town?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am looking to get mine done, do u have to supply the parts and just pay for the labour or are the parts supplied. Thanks, a ball-park figure would do fine if you didnt want to disclose your financial situation The 6 speed box was £1400 and included everything except a rear diff which was sold to me for £150, I understand £1400 is a great price however and you shoud expect to pay £2000+ The clutch was uprate and Gaz at Envy recommended the RPS street strip and this has turned out to be an excellent choice as it keeps a light pedal feel which I wanted as I drive in traffic all the time, this clutch was around £600 The fitting was just under £800 as long as you have no issues, this conversion takes around 3-4 days and I would strongly recommend Turbofit, hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheChin Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Thanks, where did you source the parts from? Tried ebay (YES) but nothing as of yet. I heard such things as Pedal box etc are needed aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conrad Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 I think Jezz said he did a 6 speed kit where he supplied all the parts for a conversion. I think - and don't quote me on this - his kit was £2200 I seem to remember someone saying expect to pay £3000 for a conversion including labour.
