    yea theres alot of pcm tuning you will have to do for the topswap, but thats the easy part. The more difficult part is the part for the 5 speed..because there is alot less suport on that topic

    why would you want the lost boost in-between gear changes anyway?

    Read the Top Swap Sticky.

    And if you don't know much about engines then I would stay away from the top swap AND especially the 5-spd as they ain't the easiest things to do.
