well its set up, right now, with the factory T5. 6-puc ceramic clutch disc, fidanza alum flywheel. eventually id like to swap in a 7004r but the TH350 will be the cheapest/best route. id just like to get the turbo on and running lol, if i blow the hell out of the T5 oh well lol. also need a better diff

and i cant come home for at least 18 years, the gubment owns me lol
