If you want a quick fix you can use a drivshaft from an automatic FC or you can dremil the holes just a little on your NA driveshaft...no need for custom work.

Do not use an auto driveshaft. It is over 2 inches too short, and risky to use.

The driveshaft lengths are in the FSM:

Look at L1 in the picture I posted. The distance is the same regardless of transmission (except auto) or rear end.

If you're going to have someone make one, take an auto driveshaft and have them add 53mm (2.1 in) into the center section. That way you'll have the turbo/auto yoke on the transmission end, the NA diff flange on the other end, and it will be the correct length.
