A few more weeks and I'll be able to join the conversation with some valid ITB input

£13k

my £7.5k included a £2k 6 speed gearbox conversion

Does the £7,500 include a exhaust aswell? I am seriously considering just getting the ITB kit for my standard N/A then doing the rest over the next couple of years.....

Vocky's exhaust is not very 'off the shelf' so I'm not sure it would. I had the ITB's with no other mods for about 9 months running on the generic map - I preferred it over standard, which I think is down to the cable throttle and also because my ECU was knackered

Lol! Did it make anymore power? I would be happy with a 15 hp increase for a year or so just for the sound

I forgot just how good Thorney was at tying himself into knots.

Tell you what 250bhp and TB I would have killed for, that was all I was after, webcon have done a fantastic job there

The £7.5k did include £1300 for my full exhaust system, but not the M32 gearbox at current replacement prices

Rough breakdown in price, I have quoted current replacement values (not development costs);

cylinder head - £2.5k
block - £1.5k
ITB's - £2.3k
Exhaust - £1.5k

total £7800

Badgerade's car did make something like 10-15bhp more at maximum power, which considering it was totally bog standard and still had the precat fitted is amazing

It costs roughly £7500 to convert a standard NA to a 300bhp SC and that is roughly the same as my ITB Phase 3

I reckon nearer £6,000 for the Stage 3 SC 300 BHP, £1,500 less and 50 BHP more.

£7500 is the actual price it cost someone last year to convert their standard car to full stage 3, using secondhand SC parts

Are those prices based on new parts? (Not trying to stir things up, genuinely interested!) I see quite a lot of the S/C conversions are done with second hand bits, whereas the TB's are normally new. Although I guess a large chunk of the cost comes from the exhaust/manifold.

a valid point, the Webcon Throttle Bodies kit uses all brand new parts, including an ECU and engine wiring loom

Using all brand new SC parts would add over £1k to the cost of a SC install
