I currently own a xl falcon tonner, which I have recently changed the tub and put a pursuit kit on. My next thing I was thinking of is turbo and manual conversion. I hopefully will be getting back 5 grand in June but I think my budget would be stretched thin. Would I be better off Doing the manual conversion first or would It work just as well with the auto. If I do the turbo what are things I would have to think about??

Honestly you would be better of selling what you have and buying what you want .
I would think you would be doing well to get a turbo motor and trans for 5k , Then you got to fit and everything else that goes with it . Bigger brakes tyres , tunning . And on the other hand you could sell your tonner for around 10k maybe more or less (depending) . Then Buy yourself a nice turbo or f6 ute from anywhere between 16k to 30 k and you get all the upgrades that come with , Interior ,suspension,icc and all the little things . |

If AU You could turbo + manual for 5k if you can do the work yourself. Google snort performance. If its a BA then yeah sell it. |
