I got a quote for a stock turbo conversion, around $3000 including parts! Thats pretty cheap. Drive in drive out. Apparently they tune it for the na internals. Around 135kws at the wheels!

Hmmmmm 3k hey. I guess thats not to bad if they supply and guarantee all of the parts. Plus you know your getting a good job done. You could knock around a grand of that if you are prepared to get your hands dirty though. R31 Setups looks nice!

I don't suppose they dabble in other conversions like say, rb30et into a VC commy?

Yeah bud, RYVE are also able to do engine conversions. I personally know of a few running around town very smoothly. You wont find any dodgy work in this garage Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Around 135kws at the wheels! It would of been cheaper for you, because you have got a series 2 block right? Probably be a little more for series 1 NA block as they would have to drill the holes for the turbo lines. Hmm, i wonder how much it would cost for my car to be shipped to melb from brisbane?
