Last year Motec did not have an option for me for GDI. This year they sent me an estimate using an M142 Ecu and includes 2 days Dyno time - 20K.
$5K just for the wiring harness?

$5K just for the wiring harness?Do they use solid gold wire? :huh:
(Hopefully I'm not just being naive; but I have a hard time believing that every single person in this industry is trying to bend us all over the table).
I've been proven wrong in this regard a few times over the past 4 years though...
Having nothing to do with wiring... I have found through multiple painful and expensive experiences in that there are tons of people in the car industry that will do work for you and I have classified them into the following groups:
1) Skilled and expensive (hard to find)
2) Unskilled and expensive (easy to find)
3) Unskilled and cheap (moderately easier to find)
4) Con artists (random)
Unfortunately I have ended up with a few of the second and third category only to redo the work again. It is simply hard to find true craftsmen who really take care in the work although many believe they do.
I am often happier with option 1 once the hangover of writing the check is over.

We supply R8 transaxles new to our customers for less than the cost of a recon Porsche trans....
As far as I can think of right now, the depth of the oil pan may be the only potential show stopper. I wonder if there is a replacement pan that could be used in conjunction with a dry-sump oil system?
One step at a time...
