No, but if I were you I'd find a 5 speed for it...the auto's are a total POS, especially behind a turbo motor...

How strict are they? If the car is in a good state of tune and has a cat, you should be okay to pass the sniffer. Dunno if they inspect in TX or not.

You've only got two choices.

A4LD (weak, overdrive)
or
C4 (stout, no overdrive) bellhousings are getting harder to find.
