very expernsive and u can keep the air con..

ive got this done and it took RT nearly a week to do.. U add the dollars up very pricy..

Its not just flipping the manifold around, u have to change the throttle cable, all the injector fuel cables, lower the alternator and machine a bracket for that and the air con. ETC ETC ETC..

not nearly worth the expense for a VF series turbo unless ur stace and can do it urself, cos the benefits really outweigh the cost.

* Only MY01+ can keep the air con due to the newer manifold design.

yes thats right stace.. but u mite as well get the new manifold as the old ones arent symetrical, thus need to be chopped to reverese it.. i.e u would have to buy 2 manifolds to make it work..
