well if you don't care about synchro revmatch it won't be as hard, worst part is still going to be wiring and making the bcm happy. expect to spend quite a lot.

This. Unless it's a project car, it is not worth the money or hassle. Or, learn to love the paddle shifters. But if you really want a 6MT, your best bet is to trade or sell.

This is one of those "If you have to ask, you can't handle it" questions. As others have mentioned, it's not just a matter of swapping transmissions (difficult for the average DIYer). By the time you buy all the parts needed for the swap, you'd be better off trading for a MT.

I was gonna start a thread on this, im wanting to do a "winter project" in the near future. Stillen SC kit, upgrade all the internals, etc. But can the 7AT handle that much HP? This is why I wanted to do a swap, that way I can build the 6MT to withstand the HP being put out.

The answer is, yes to a point, but you may want to have certain components of the trans replaced or upgraded as well as be mindful of what gear you are in when gunning it under boost. I believe there is a whole thread dedicated to this question.
