In theory, you could do it with the header from a single turbo kit, and then get a custom downpipe made. If you had an exhaust housing with a block-off plate (and I do happen to have one of these handy!), you could use a full single turbo kit (without the turbo) and the downpipe that comes with the kit would fit onto the turbo exhaust housing with the block-off plate.

This option appears much cheaper at the moment. Auto TT Supras are selling for $2000 more than N/A. All I would have to convert the transmission sometime.
You couldn't send it over to Australia could you?
Do you have any idea where to get those parts (in Australia)?

You'd have to pull out the abs braking system, calipers & rotors, the abs ecu, the primary ecu, ingnitor, resistor pack, and primary wiring harness, and replace all of them with TT parts as well. The rims would have to be changed too (16" to 17"), but of course that's relatively minor. I'm sure there are other items as well, like the fuel pump, the fuel pump ecu, stereo system, etc., but I think that's most of it at a high level. Other forum members please feel free to post additional items that would need to be changed. Generally speaking, almost all of the 'working' parts of the car are different - so although they look the same, they are very different vehicles beneath the surface.

Roughly how much would a job like that cost? Also, if I had say put in an aftermarket stereo system and that, would that make it harder to do the conversion?
