the dezod numbers posted on their site are from an auto. i have always given it thought, but the weak auto in the civic makes me nervous about trying (and so does my warranty).
well your turbo wont have to spool every time the thing shifts so you will have constant boost as long as your foot is down, but more than likely, you can say goodbye to your transmission. build the trans, and youll be fine. however turbo cars are fun to drive..i cant imagine an automatic being fun to drive, thats just me

If you are only keepin it till late spring, dont boost it...value goes down significantly. turbo is nice for tuners and they would offer more, but not if the car is auto unless they can swap a manual in...not familiar with trannies, especialy automatic ones so I duno

i want to add a turbo to my car...i hear it can be done but seriously whats cheaper or easier...adding turbo and doing the correct mods to make my automotic able to handle a turbo....or just change it to a manual and turbo it then.
All depends on your power goals. If you're happy with 5psi and around 165whp, then turbo away. If you know you won't be happy with that amount of power, then yeah, convert to a manual straight away to save yourself a headache and downtime later down the road.

There's a good chance that I'm not going to answer your PM.
personally use the money and go stick, you wont have power but you'll be quicker(not much, but quicker) plus it is very fun. mine is auto but drive a manual acura every now and then.
thanks... i guess ill do it.. ima look into what kinda transmission work has to be done and ill do it... im fallin in love with my 6th gen n i dont wanna let it go whn i get the Audi... LOVE THE CIVIC.. thnkz guys..!
if you are worried about Civic autos then you should be terrified of the Audi's. Those cars eat transmissions.
i had an 97 a4 quattro 2.7 turbo 5spd and the tranny & clutch were good when i sold it at 130k the clutch was replaced at 110k but thats about normal. audis are deffinately NOTORIOUS for electrical problems though. strangely i had none with mine even the power mirrors worked when i sold it with no electrical repairs... my advice: unless you can afford paying 40k for a new one, DONT BUY ONE. they are very nice cars but chances are maintenence on a used one over 5 years will probably be as much as buying a new one
