Default Possible.
If you cant do it your self, then its not worth paying someone else to do it.

the cost of doing such a swap, it would make alot more sense to sell your car and buy a 6spd.

Default the limit is stage 2+ or 3- at best...
if you go stage 3 you will need have level 10 or someone rebuild the tranny to beef it up.
