    7mgte lower radiator hose?

    Can the lower turbo radiator hose be used on an NA? I keep seeing the turbo kits for sale and never any specifically for the NA. It looks to be about the same just some different bends I'm assuming to work around the IC. I tried searching but couldn't come up with anything.

    looking for advice for a automatic-->manual swap

    I bought pretty much everything new(besides the pedals, fly wheel and some other odds and ends). Driftmotion has most of the stuff and then the local dealer had the rest. I did go with shaftmasters for the 1 piece drive shaft though.

    Piece of garbage ps3(keeps breaking)

    It's like trying to explain to someone why you like the supra or why you prefer pepsi over coke. Fanboys on each side will never understand the others point of view and it is a never ending argument that gets old fast.
