For the time being just get an LS/GS manual tranny. It will save you a few bucks.

I say do it right the first time and at least look for a GSR tranny. The gear ratio will make the car more fun to drive, boosted or not.

itr tranny will accelerate quicker, has lsd, but you'll be cruising at higher rpms and it's more expensive. if you can deal with that, go for it.

Not if you can afford it. The LSD plus super short gear ratios are awesome for a low boost, street driven car.

that's if he wanted to buy a brand new tranny for $2400. you'll find used itr tranny's starting at $1000 and gsr tranny's at $500.
