Hey guys, first time posting so please, if I'm in the wrong spot, let me know.

I' thinking about doing a bunch of stuff to my Tib, firstly an Auto-Manual swap followed by adding a turbo kit.

Trying to get an idea as to what I'm getting into. I have basic knowledge of mechanics and my bro will be helping me out almost entirely on this.

First off, what would I need for a auto-manual swap (and where to get). (parts, etc...) I read the sweet DIY thats posted but I might have missed some parts.

Secondly does anyone actually have a site that has pre-picked turbos kits? Or is it basically up in the air and I'd have to find everything on my own?

If thats the case what would I need and what are your recommendations / warnings.

I found a kit at sharkracing.com http://www.sharkracing.com/acecart/bin/sho...;cate=010903000

Any idea if its any good or is it just crap?

Let me know what you think. Again if this is the wrong place to post I'm sorry.

Check out SOCKS's subforum, he is selling bolt-on turbo kits, I got the first one hehe

If you have questions about the auto-manual swap, post them in that thread.

DO NOT buy a kit from shark racing.. if you wanna buy a full kit, im your guy.

i offer a variety of different kits, and can meet any of your needs as far as customizing what you want.

getting the parts for auto to man swap, junkyard is your best bet. if not your own, check out car-part.com

turbo kit will be easier than the auto to man swap, cuz i will be available all the time for any questions you need. ask anyone who has dealt with me in the past.


the shark racing kit, beyond being way overpriced, isn't all that great, and they aren't the best people to do business with. VERY un-reliable.
