Hi Greg1,

The cost would not be worth it, there are plenty of 440 turbo's already out there. Why not get one that is already done?

Not sure how much it would cost for the turbo and fitting, but you could probably buy a 440 turbo for the same price as converting your to turbo. This means you would have 2 cars though!

I suppose it depends on how much you want to spend, although why tamper with the car if its mint and very low milage.

I reckon you should buy a turbo one as well, no harm in having two

imagine having two 440s on the drive
