😞 I just realized that if I do this unless I get some sort of special insurance it won't be covered for the real value, it will just be a covered as an N/A. I think I'll just sell the car and get a legit turbo, I just hope that it isn't thrashed. You can delete this post, mods. If you have any guides on how to properly inspect a car before purchasing, link it, or dm me. Thanks guys

ahh, my bad, yeah it's a Limited Edition. ill edit that now. (edit: cant edit the post lol) mhh... sounds like I gotta convince my mate to help me do it, or at least do it partially and let the workshop do the rest

I know this topic has been talked to death, however I was on this forum for a while looking to see if people have done a complete conversion, I'm not just talking about a bolt on turbo, I'm talking ECU, Wiring, Engine, Transmission, Exhaust, Driveshaft, Fuel pumps, basically everything that is needed to make it a legit FG turbo. but I guess due to my lack of indexing skills I haven't found a post about it yet, so if there is one, please direct me to it. anyways, I have a 2011 FG XR6 LTD, Had the car for 5 years, got it at a really good price and it has not had a single problem. 3 years ago me mate smashed his fg turbo and since it was a write off he took out most of the parts and scrapped the car. One day I decided to give my car a birthday so I bought it a XR8 bonnet and a new front bumper because mine was damaged, while we were doing that together he said that we should put his stage 3 intercooler from his car into mine while the bumper is off, so I accepted the offer and now my car looks absolutely amazing. It turns heads, but those gasps turn into laughter when people realize that it's not really a turbo lmao. anyways, I didn't care whether it was a turbo or not until recently and since my friend has almost everything from the car I thought about just swapping out my N/a parts, wiring, dash and all with his. the question is, is this worth doing? Looking at the prices of FG turbos recently makes me depressed knowing that I'd never be able to buy one and the fact that I don't know the history behind those cars makes me hesitant to sell my FG and buy a turbo. At least with my friends parts, I know the complete history since I was there when he bought it, repaired it, and took care of it. and also this is my first car. I love my car, I've looked after it and it has in return looked after me. My friend is offering to sell me all his parts for 8k, this includes a manual transmission with the pedal box. If I was to go through with this, I'd want to take it somewhere to get the swap done since neither of us have time, but I don't know where to take it, I'd want someone very experienced. so what do you think?
