Yes its a good idea, if you want outrageous turbo whine
I got mine new for $500 from a guy off criagslist but had to get the pedestal myself from the ford dealer. Over all I think the swap was worth it, took lots of elbow grease and patience to get the job done but you will get happy results at the end. Anyone who is in the process of doing this swap I wish you luck!!!! Oh and believe me you would want to drive with the windows down all the time lol.
