If you get an Auto P28, I'd recommend chipping it to a 5 speed.

but would it work or would it definately need reprogramming. cuz then it's not worth it. i can just search for a p28 that is a 5 speed.

you can convert an auto ecu to a five speed one just by replacing a resistor..

i have a how to on my site

you can use the p28, but since the engine is obd2, you may run into a problem with the disttributor
