The car was an auto originally, not sure about the t5 one. I'm running a Flaming River manual rack. I also have 6.0 manifolds flipped backwards for my turbo setup and the shaft comes pretty close to touching.

The swap really is simple, just read up on all the similar build threads, everything should be answered already.

Very nice! Sounds healthy! That intercooler looks like it might be a bit on the small side,but thats one of those things that will be evident in your inlet temps. Good luck with the car.

Holy hell! Amazing setup! I love Fox's. It's even sweeter with a boosted LS1!

Sounds amazing. How fast were you going on the fly-by? 130?

I can't get over how much I love the sound of a dumped turbo.

It's like an STS car, but it's not a pile of ****. Awesome ride man!
