My homeboy and I just converted his automatic to a manual. I can easily get a hold of a 5 speed tranny for 300 and a stage 2 clutch kit for 150. Weld in a new clutch pedal and take care of a few odds and ends and it's all going to come out to about 600. Like helliviknow said, this also depends on how cheap YOU can find the parts as well and if you're doing it yourself or paying someone else. 91 TSI for 700? If the body is in good shape then I say go for it, the swap is worth it.
