Most sellers give the impression that it is a straight bolt on arrangement, yes it bolts to the manifold and lines but there is more work to be done which adds to the cost thanks that helps alot! so basically I would be up for the $1700 and then like $600 to have my housing modded?ive seen a gt3540 with 15,000ks and already flapper and port mod, but im guessing that's with a ba housing which you sayd to stay away from McMattyp91 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
