Where can you get these kits for manual transmissions?  Will they fit with
out modifying the deck?  How much do they cost?  Can you fit the
turbo-charged one with ouy modifying the deck?  What are the outputs for
both the naturally aspirated and turboed versions?  I was thinking of going
subaru until this string popped up, and I would love to stay 100%
volkswagen.
