I am thinking of doing the swap after i get a turbo project going. Im wondering if i can trade all my auto stuff for M6 or if the M6 stuff costs more or what. Which side costs more money? A4 or M6? Im hoping i can trade my trans and all the components needed for a m6-a4 swap to someone wanting the reverse aswap and get everything i need minus the trans an some cash and use the cash towards a build t-56 from Rodney.

I think I ended up spending a little over $500 on my swap. This of course was with swapping with a buddy's car. I would definetely recommend going this route if you can. It makes it so much easier and hassle free of trying to find all the parts need to swap over. The $500 I spent was for odds and ends stuff, a grinder for cutting the hole for the shifter and buying a new slave and shop fee. No labor costs b/c we did all the work ourselves.

Or course I think he got the better end of the deal b/c I had a stage5 auto built by Rodney which I traded for a stock M6. No biggie, I wanted the M6.
