It had to be practical and safe enough for a 16 year old to drive. No super charged big block here. It also had to be something affordable

Not sure that much horsepower would be very practical or economical for a teen...
I cannot assume how much experience you have had with the T5 transmissions but I had too many guys tell me they were not as dependable as they should have been, so I ultimately decided against one. The hydraulic clutch put me off too because I am not that clever of a fellow to know what I was messing with.
The beauty of this build is you have plenty of time to adjust and add, modify and enhance whatever vision you and your son come up with.
Good Luck, I envy you this project !!
