could this be done and give me some extra power or should i do a auto-man swap

 

don't waste your money on doing a mini-me on an auto. do a auto to manual conversion first, then do the mini-mi. get a tranny from a y8, that'll make a big acceleration difference.

 

auto to man swap will cost you an arm and a leg. either sell car and get manual or buy full b18 swap and then do major work to justify cost and work. i mean, why would you pay $K's to do a man swap and then you decide to do another swap for B18? that's if you have swap plans in your mind. on the other hand: manual swap=2k, turbo another 2k= maybe as fast as a B18c swap. true, up the boost and you would be faster. but that's more $$$ again. you're screwed for $$ either way. saving up for a B18c full engine, trans, and manual swap seems smarter and frees the car for massive future build up potential. just my 5 cents........
