Message	and I can't help but think: WHO IN THE RIGHT MIND WOULD DO THIS?! It makes no sense. All the money he put into doing it, just sell the NA and buy a native TT. I personally don't care, he gave me lots of money, and bought all my intercooler/intake piping and others, but why spend $5000 on converting when you can sell your NA for $5000 (or $3000 if broke ass) and buy a TT for $10000 ($7000). In most cases, if you're willing to shrug your shoulders a bit, you can find a good enough TT for cheaper than it would do to complete the swap. If you're doing a DIY, sure why not, but it's just not cost economical. /rant.
