On our side of the country, though (GT is in CA I think), there's other places.
www.rallispec.com in NJ www.eastcoastswappers in MA ECS focuses on engine swaps, they go start-to-finish in about a week, turnkey. Prices are set, they have a great website. Rallispec is a racing company, they compete in rally and also do builds. They tend to be less available immediately though. =S2= |

Perhaps closest to you is also: www.gearboxtech.com aka "AndrewTech" ... Fantastic place, lots of praise if you look in MAIC. I had sort of a misunderstanding with them, it blew beyond proportion for various reasons. They don't have set prices on swaps, and their estimates for that as well as a fix I needed on my OE RS engine, were very high. At least compared with ECS, GT and other places. So I took them out of consideration. That says nothing about GBT's talents. And again, somehow it blew out of proportion. I had weird email responses from them. =S2= |

Yeah I agree...
If you have a 2006, just sell it privately for max. profit according to KBB value, then get a WRX or STI. |
