No seriously. It will cost a lot. But if your keen on doing it use a R33 gts-t gearbox as their a crap load stonger. The poor old atmo vl gearbox doesn't like a flogging much. For an R33 gear box this will set you back around a grand. If you decied to use a vl turbo manual you will need to do some tail shaft modifying too. In all is it really worth it? Well I've decided it is, so I'm converting mine to a R33 spec one. If your interest in a R33 gearbox conversion talk to "calais to4 me" he done this conversion.
