I will have a couple used 14Bs for sale in a couple weeks... I will be looking for about $250 to $300 (plus shipping to you)for them (each). I just have to what my landed cost will be. I am not looking for profit, I just thought why buy one, when I can get 3. They're coming out of the states so hopefully myself and a couple others can save on shipping and broker fees this way. I'll post when I have them and I know the details a little better.

Mike, My wife's car is an automatic also and yes, you will need to replace the coolant lines etc...if you want to go with a 14B. I have also ask around and found that the stock injectors will be fine as long as you don't up your boost too much. Oh, then there is a bit of lag but better top end.

So jesse are you done the conversion? How does it work? How come the turbo is only worth a case a beer man? Is it good shape or do you really like your beer? [This message has been edited by Mike Castanho (edited June 16, 2001).]

No boost??? Does it spool? do you have a big bad leak? Is it something a new turbo will fix?
