help on 96 tt

[ezg03]

I need some help I've been wanting a 993 for the last year or so, and I finaly found one that I like and its a 96 tt. The only problem is that it's hit in the rear, basicly I need everything for the engine except for the block. i.e. distributor, heads, intercooler, and theres a crack in the transmission. I want to know if anyone knows approximately how much those parts cast and if theres a company that makes an aftermarket intercooler, and if all 993 transmissions are the same, i.e. can i put a regular 993 trans on a tt. I would also like to know if anyone has any idea how much a new engine is with the trans. I was just looking for a regular 993 but this is a tt so its going to cost me more than i expected so i want to keep the cost down.

Thank you

EZG,

These are just some rough estimates.

You can expect to pay $12k for a 993 tt engine, $6k for the transmission, and it is TT specific, the NA car's transmission gearing is different.

There are aftermarket parts out there for the intercooler, but the cheapest source would still be a salvage yard for a used porsche intercooler.

If you need more informaiton please e-mail me I will give you a phone number for a porsche salvage yard where he might have some parts and pricing for the stuff you are looking for.
