I was going to type out pretty much the same thing exitspeed said after me, but went the lazy route with "Looks like a manual to me." .
Nissan going through the trouble of showing the hand on the shifter "screams" M/T...

I think In this car I'd be happy to have 300ish hp with little to no modifications outside of the turbo kit itself. No need for injectors, fuel pump, stand alone, yada yada yada. I'm still keeping the S13, I guess it gets to be the stupid almost track only never ending build.

Pretty much my same dilemma. I've wanted a stock EVO/ STI since the initial US releases. So far I've owned my 15 STI for just over a year and it's proven to be the reliable and fun DD I've always wanted.
My warranty is up in 2yrs and I'm debating whether I should go simple tune only, bolt-ons + tune for around 325-345whp, or just save up and get a built 400whp engine with reliability being the main goal.
