Trans build will cost u over 3K. Then u need a tuner or someone who can tune for a turbo. Its your money. Do what u want. Coolant tank can be found at ur local junkyard.

I just bought a built trans from Tim King and it ran a tad over 2 grand. 7/8ths chain 300m input shaft, shift kit, blah, blah. Why are you being so dramatic?

A base turbo kit will not rape your trans unless u beat th hell out of it.

Someone who actually is not being a complete dick to the op. Good info.



To the OP- The 97's run into the issue with the ABS module in the way of the upper dp. To resolve this you must remove the ABS all together or have the upper dp modified.
