Hey, quick question - are the manual gearboxes in the N/A VL's the same as the VLT's box (ie, are they both MX7's) but with different cogs in them?

No, they are totally different, the n/a box is called a ME5 and is a spindly little thing while the turbo box called a MX7 is a monster compared to n/a, it is so big you need to fit spacers between the floor and the gearbox crossmember.
