Would you convert a rare CGT (an 87.5) to 10VT?

     I hate to argue with you Javad (because I know you know your Audi
stuff!), but 2Bennett charges $8500 for the 10V turbo swap currently
(without A/C) not $12k. They list the 20V turbo swap at $11.5k
currently. Used to be $5500 for the 10V turbo back in '99 when they did
mine (which turned out to be the last one they did at that price - BTW)
and they did the 4 wheel disc conversion, delrin bushings, Jamex springs
& shocks, and kept the A/C (all that came in just under $9k at the
time). See their website for up to the minute conversion prices.

>It would never be financially viable to do this swap to a CGT, or a 4KCSQ for that matter. But it isn't always about the $$$.
