Converting an 1998 AUDI A4 1.8T SPORT AUTO to manual?

[Lennard]

Is it possible to do it, since i've found a 1.8T up for sale with a tempremental auto-box at the right price?

Not easily, the cranks are different between auto and manual. As is the exhaust down pipe, everything else is good to go tho

[Lennard]

Is it possible to use the same crank and down pipe?
