Default Cost of Transforming Auto to Manual

How much would it cost for me to get this done to a 2008 2.0T?

I'd say 3- 5000 if it could even be done reliably. Better off trading cars as this would be a huge job.

Just get another car. The expense is not worth it. Not only will you have to get different components, but you will have to get the computer flashed to change what ever is manual transmission specific in the software. Also, in the auto, the Torsen is integrated in the tranny, where in the manual it is a separate unit, and would have to be added.

Not only that, the rear differential is actually different and needs to be replaced as well or you will have a constant vibration.

Agreed with the advice here.
