Lots of work is involved. I researched it a while back and it turned out to be more than what I though it was. It was going to cost around $2800 after it was said and done.

t5 to c4 conversion
You do not have to use a 157 tooth fly but most do because the small bell housing is most common, plus it allows for more clearance.
So to start, you have to remove the pilot bearing don't forget
flexplate, 157 tooth 50 oz. (164 if you have the large bell housing)
transmission with torque converter
crossmember DOES NOT HAVE TO BE CHANGED, adjusted maybe but not replaced.
trans cooler and lines
shifter
shifter cable
kickdown cable
rewire neutral safty switch on trans (plugs maybe the same I am not sure)
pedal assmebly if you want, not required


That is all I can think of off the top of my head.

If you were near me I would give you my c4 setup for your t5 setup
