Hi. I would like to revive this thread.
5 years late the price difference between the manual and tiptronic has widened significantly.
Where I live for similar mileage the price difference is now almost double. I am offered about $35-40k for my tiptronic with 44000km while a similar mileage manual car sells for $60-70k. So not the manual conversion is more than cost effective.
I have done automatic to manual conversions on 944s in the past, including wiring harness change, so labor cost will be almost O. I have found a 2001 996C4 parts car for about $4k.
Questions are: Are the C4 and turbo wiring harnesses the same? Is the C4 transmission strong enough for the turbo?
