curious if anyone has a 5 or 6 speed in a turbo buick. I know they don't need one but sure would love to have one and may do one in a few yrs :rolleyes:
 
Not sure how easy it would be. I would think you would end up losing your 60foot times due to the fact that you won't be able to hold you brakes and obtain boost. but what do I know.
 
I dont have any experience with 4 spd in buicks however i have done many conversions on small block cars. You'll need pontiac bell housing 3rd pedal assy out of late 70's early 80's malibu.(maybe other cars i dont know) tranny and shifter of course. I dont think it would be that hard. You will also need a BOV so when you push clutch you dont damage impeller on turbo.
