   bit pricey them mate i got one with about 18k on the clock for less with all the correct ecu and loom
   
   cost abit for fitting though becuase i had other work done at the same time was just over 1k for the engine and all the labour charges think the engine was about 300 quid
   
   think dan got his conversion done for about 700 quid thats bought and fitted by a mate if i remember rightly

   go for it, seems an ok price, the only other way to do it is to buy a crashed VTS and use the engine out of it! ?
