both these shops are in tampa.

They do amazing work. It really depends on the swap.

For example, they charge about 1000 for a SR into a KA s13

and like 400 for a KA - KA swap..

you would have to call and ask.

well twins are great if you justleave it stock.....a single would be better if you look to upgrade in the future. but if you have the twins, just strap 2 gt30r's on there and call it a day.

There is an importer in the miami area called prolink, they are worth a shot for prices.

thanks for the heads up. there's another guy doing the same swap. im not trying to be unique, just that tuning the mbz is almost bank breaking. that and there arent many parts for it on these sides of the world.

edit: what i mean is that there are far more parts for supra engines.
