hey... looks like joe's at it again over on the AV6 forums
I don't have the link to the thread but look for "The Next Turbo J32A2 6MT (DIY In Progress)" under the performance discussion for 6th gen
You planning on turboing your car anytime soon after your conversion? It'd be nice to see a turbocharged tlp six speed. I'll contribute to your success if you wish

My car's paid off so I took out a loan to do the swap. Just $105/month now for the TL.
On a side note, I'm leaving in a few minutes to send back the springs .
Sorry about the whole mix up again.

I've put the stock CD player back in (look at the old one for sale here), got some PB Blaster on the exhaust bolts to make my life easier and mounted my USB GPS antenna in the top of the passenger A pillar. I'm waiting on the USB extension wire so I can run it the rest of the way to the center console.

ah, well thanks for that explanation. Now I'm going to find someone who wants to give me a credit card. Nice seeing your progress though. I have big plans as well. Still need to put coilovers on though...Good luck with the rest of the swap man.

If all goes well, we'll get everything (trans, motor mounts, cat, shocks/springs) in in 3 days.
