So what do you want exactly? A high stall? B&M shifter?... I'm not sure fully sure whats going on, but maybe it was just a fuel cut? Too much boost without enough fuel? Try adding a intercooler, better injectors, and a better fuel pump... the stage 1 upgrades for any turbo car..
The manual conversion shouldn't be so hard, if your mech minded... theres no real wiring just replace ur clutch setup, tailshaft, bellhosing, gearbox and xmember pretty simple

Hi,

I have the same car and loving it, just my auto is a bit stuffed up too.

If you're after good power i reccomend you get a W58 manual gearbox, should cost you about $500 - 600 for the parts if you look around. Try to get a W58 from later models so the chances of it being in good condition are higher. Rebuilding an Auto gearbox can be costly, or you could get a cheap replacement auto, but then again you may have problems again.

Good luck.
