custom shaft, auto shaft is same as t2.



id say get a t2 shaft and have the n/a rear piece mated on, rather then the other way around.

Swap in a T2 rear and forget about the driveshaft issues. Using the NA rear is a handicap on the turbo motor when you go to make more power....

no kidding, instead of spending all that money on a driveshaft put it towards swapping the rear.
