Funny you should mention dieseling both. I also have a 1HZ w/5spd, but my current plan is to sell that one and just stick with the 4 banger turbo.

I have also thought about the vacuum shifting transfer in the 45, and without actually looking at it, I bet you could hook up a mechanism to retain it. The split case vacuum unit is said to be too wide, but I bet you could rig something up to combine the two. I've heard people talk about tweaking a column shifter to work a 4spd, but talk is all it was....I have yet to see a pic.
