(not me doing the labor)
Or is it better to turn a NA into a TT or T??? I would really appreciate the advice, thanks
1) There's no such thing as a "T" MK4, unless it's been modified.
2) The TT is a far more capable overall car (the TT has better brakes, suspension, transmission, diff, etc.,etc.)
3) The swap from auto to 6spd is expensive. Please review this link:
MKIV.COM
4) It's better to start with a TT in the first place (it's completely not worth it to try to turn an n/a into a full TT).
5) The auto TT is quicker in the 1/4 mile than the 6spd. The 6spd is only better for roadracing.

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
