3.8-4.2 depending on your driving, drivetrain, and motor.
as far as I know, any odorless TC is allowed.

You can if you want, it will be dog slow, and need constant maintenance compared to a 17.5 I have a duo3 you can buy off me if you are looking for a cheapy.
I think my touring gt was geared around 5.7FDR with silvercan.
