You don't have to make it a stick to turbo the car.

turbo can be done with automatic as well. dont bother converting.
either trade in or get new car. and im serious. its not worth it

Well first you'll have to find all the parts to do it, or go to a dealer and do it all new. But I don't know if a dealer will swap the tranny liek that if its under warranty. When I was in high school a kid I knew had an E36 BMW with an auto and he absolutely toasted the tranny so he could convert to manual. Good plan, till he saw how much that kind of swap is. So figure you'll need the tranny (duh), clutch assembly, all the wiring, different transaxles (im not sure??) different guage cluster unless you dont care about having the automatic diagram still on there, and I'm assuming you'd need a different ECU from a manual car, but im not sure. So...why not just trade it in, or just turbo and automatic.

i think i might just put the turbo on it and dont even bother converting it, my friend told me that its not worth putting a turbo on a automatic and do yha have any suggestions on where and how much i can get a turbo
