That isn't a list of light mods yes you need a 5 speed if you stay stock turbo then.... thats different but don't waste any money on any kind of 6 speed build cause they fail to my knowledge. I blew up 2 6 speeds with stock turbo full bolt ons just drag racing. I'm pretty sure auto-cross is more stressful on the car so just find a used 5 speed cheap and send to shep for a full rebuild or stage 2 if you want and you will be set. I believe he also sells the conversion kit
