people clame that you cant really get full use from a turbo unless you have an manual

I don't understand how you wouldn't be able to get full use of a turbo with an auto. There are plenty of A/T turbo cars that perform just as well if not better than their M/T counterparts. The only trouble I can think of immediately is the tranny with high boost. You would have to have some tranny work done to run higher boost.

Only problem is the lag off the line. But all you need to combat that is a nice 15-30 shot of nitrous. SFPower is making a nitrous adapter for his turbo kit.
And also what was printed above. I will be getting my tranny rebuilt, you wil also need a tranny cooler. I have one, but not in yet.

i am not into racing either. just wanted more performance.

$400 for the tranny rebuild, which u don't need really.
$25 for the tranny cooler.

What's the big deal?

If you don't care about racing, then you don't need the n2o either.

yeah...i guess this topic was really unnecessary when i think about it, it was mainly just wonding if ill have the same performance manual

and the trany cooler sounds like a safe deal and not that bad at all price wise, are they easy to install?
