auto to manual swap lesson learned.
After completing my tranny swap last night, I went to start the car today and see what changes needed to be made on my Haltech. The car started but it idled at 3k. I'm thinking wtf, the clutch can't be that much of a difference over a torque converter. I took my time making slight adjustments but nothing fixed it. Then it hit me: There's a vacuum leak. I started looking around and sure enough, there was a leak. I had removed the vacuum line going from the UIM to the auto tranny vacuum modulator and I never capped it off.
So let this be the lesson. If you are doing the tranny swap and you go to start the car, you may have to make minor adjustments on the throttle body, but double check that the port for that line is capped off or you may just start compounding your problem and chasing your tail so to speak.

mine costed about $1500 b/c I did about 5 other mods with it, and had to buy tools every step of the way.
In reality, probably could be done for aroudn $4-600 if you had the parts sourced fair and cheap.
EDIT: or the price of a parts car, which is generaly pretty damn cheap
