Default ive done it

u just gota replace half of the shaft with the turbo one to the n/a. i forgot if its the back or the front part, it wokred aite. but make sure you put on a good clutch. stock one wont handle it. ull regret. i do. my advise would be to go with the r154. much stronger and u can beet it.

if your worring about getting it on the road and running, why not just use the auto untill you can get a r154 and other parts?

you can get used ones for like 200 bucks in good condition.

that is, unless your making over 300 ish whp/tq, whereas you need a tranny cooler or a built tranny.

wow, so instead of just getting another working auto, you decide to risk putting in a tranny that is likely to fall apart under that torque? well your money
