get the throttle body off what? or from where? and what should it run in the 1/4? or 8th?

You can get a ported TB from Corksport or from a guy off of PT, I cant remember his name though. Your times will vary depending on tunning and what mods you have. Did you try to jump the ten and ground in the diagnostic box to adjust your idle? You need to jump those together and then adjust your idle with the philips screw on the top of the TB. Jump the wires w/swtch off then crank it. Disreguard this if you have already tried.

Do you have to swap your ECU with that 2.5 also?

I just got my 1.8 out and my 2.5 is waiting for the spacers for my Intake.

The PGT I got the motor outta was an ATX so the ECU wont work i dont think. Also Im keeping my MX 1.8 intake and just switching the ram horn on it to the straight one off of the PGT.

5 bolt hub convertion, rack and pinion swap (if i can!)

Yes swap the VAF, exhaust manifold and the ECU. 2.5 5-SPEED ECU goes with the 2.5 VAF. Good luck

[BucktownMx3]

ok, i need the 2.5 ecu, vaf, and i need to swap exhaust manifolds? should i keep ne 1.8 parts?

[2RotorsNaDream]

Keep your 1.8 exhaust manifold and thats all pretty much. Make sure you have a 2.5 VAF and ECU. Make sure you have the right ECU also, if you got a manual car get a manual 2.5 ECU, if you got an auto car get an auto 2.5 ECU.
