Now that GE owns them you can forget about it. Used to you could buy these Walters for under 40k now they are up near 100k. Sounds like GE bought Walter to get a cheap turbine off of the market. More proof turbine costs are a factor of gouging and ownerous certification rules. Otherwise you are looking at lower cost than two 520 remans. So what is the total cost to convert a 58?

How does the Piper with the nose turbine compare?

Why clip the wings and had fuel tip tanks? Im sure a 58P single turbine could probably be done in Canada. Buy an older TBM like this for probably around $650k and runit part 91 with only an annual in the US. http://www.controller.com/listings/airc ... ta-tbm-700
