Message	do the simple swap first. trying to go from an NA to a 700 HP Z will mean that you dont drive your car for 3-4 years. I'd rather drive an NA than own a TT that doesnt run. when I did my swap, my car was down for only 2 weeks. I do alot of driving and Z meets and I dont have time for my car to be down. Copied in Hell
