Hi, I have found it pretty hard to find a decently low mileage twin turbo z in my area of pennsylvania for a good price, so i was wondering if it may pay off to buy an N/A and do a twin turbo swap later on... and could anyone give an estimate of what a low mileage twin turbo swap could cost me? Thanks in advance!

what's your price range anyways??? You might benefit from buying the car from somewhere and either having it towed there, or you could fly down and drive it back... generally an n/a-turbo swap will be nice but lacking in terms of some of the features that turbos got and n/a's didn't. I think the swap can be done for as cheap as 3000, but you should check out the thread at the top of the page called TT swap or something....

If the price is right and the car is good, BUY IT!
