the 20b also has lots more torque than any 13b, even in stock trim

when vosko says something costs alot you know you don't want to touch it.

well i figured about $10k... without rebuilding the engine or putting a single turbo on it...... stock fuel system etc !!!!!

arent there some places that make a replacement subframe to run the 13b-rew in an fc?

No, but it's easy to do it.

You would have to save ALOT more then that $50 you had sitting with nothing to buy with it, lol

He would need close to $20,000 because I think he will have to have it done for him by a shop, maybe closer to $25,000

You dont think if someone were to drop a car off at a shop, ask for a 20b, transmission, rear end, all thats involved in putting a 20b in a vert along with the drivetrain, then getting a stand-alone and trying to get it tuned would run then at least $20,000? If they ever got it to run at all, lol
