    Did it once on my '93 2.3, It was simple, My Bro and I did it, him working from the top, me on the bottom, took us like 15 mins. THe bolts on the top can be a pain to get to but its not all bad.

    Need 2.3T Exaust Manifold

    How bad is the surface on that second one??? I may be intrested in it, gonna call some machine shops in my area tomarrow and see what they'd charge me to re-surface the Turbo Mount. Also if you could figure the shipping to 74955 would be great. Also does that one have all the turbo mounting studs??

    Battery in my 93 LX keeps draining!

    Also have the Batt tested. OR remove the Neg. cable then charge it, tap the cable on the neg. post, if you here a loud spark then theres something drawing on it. IF you have a PowerCap that will draw but not enough to drain it overnight.

    Put a turbo on a N/A 2.3?

    Labor would depend on the shop, but thats where it would get up, In Cali anyways, the avg. labor rate was ~$65/hr. You could end up spending WAY more on labor alone then anything else.

    Put a turbo on a N/A 2.3?

    I thought about doing this with y '93 when I had it, ITs just not worth it. THe potential damage that can be done far out ways the minimal benifits you'd get. Do the Reserch, you can pull a Turbo 2.3 out of a Turbo Coupe easily. Some slight re-wiering, light exaust work and ya ready for some...

    Convertable top question.

    That seams a little high, when I replaced the one on my old vert, it cost me about 250 to boy the top and window, and about another 250-275 to install it.
