ok there is a faq on this in the 2nd gen forums. But neways you will need the T2 drive shaft rearend half hafts and knuckles along with the Turbo harness and ECU (j-Spec or US spec). umm there are a few other things like time and a **** load of patience.

here is a write up on the auto to manual swap

And here is the write up for the turbo motor swap the correct way that it supposed to be done not that half *** **** some ppl call a swap.
http://www.rotaryresurrection.com/ro...conversion.htm

ignore the stuff at the top of the page just scroll down and youll find the info you need. Hope this helps.

might as well upgrade clutch and flywheel while you got the engine out.. i have a HDSS clutch with a lightweight RB FLYWEEL.. it really catches like no other.. since you are goin turbo.. lots of other options are available.. ( i still prefer my n/a)

is you car an s4 or s5? if its a s4 you might have problems with the body harness pluging in because the motor in the pics is a s5. you can keep you n/a rear and get a t2 to n/a driveshaft but they are around $300
