Expect to pay around $1000 for a large name workshop to do the work for you...On the other hand, im sure there are a few CT guys willing to do the job for a few hundred. I personally did my own conversion, took my time and completed it in 2 afternoons. I wouldnt recommend ripping it all apart without a bit of knowledge on what you're doing. By no means do you need to be a mechanic, but you would want to have a bit of experience under your belt.

make sure that you get everything checkd out first if you brought second hand get all the **** tested as such as turbo (shaft play, housing cracks) head (if worn) manifold (cracks) injectors work and dont leak dont just do it yourself without getting stuff tested i know a person who brought a motor second hand didnt bother checking and chucked in the whole motor 4weeks not even mass oil leaks from motor and the turbo had heaps shaft play... just warning ya even though its cheaper to get it from ppl then shop it might cost u in the long run for full rebuild or motor turbo and stuff thats costly (as ppl found out with MONSTA turbos)
