I don't think it's that bad. I did one for a buddy recently and I charged 1600. We got the clip for 3k and pretty much only needed a few hoses, rad and he bought intercoolers. If you can do it yourself its cheaper and fun! Both cars I've had i did tt swaps on because I like the simpler engine bays as well as I could not at all find a tt for a reasonable price that hasn't been completely fucked.
