There are plenty of auto ppl here that are turbo. Trans cooler is on the top of your list though.

That's 100% false. From first-hand experience, I can tell you that a turbo system on an automatic is the best thing you can do to increase performance. I boosted over 20psi when I had an auto.

don't loose boost between shifts (or atleast very little) :D

the turbo pictured below is on my work truck with an auto tranny. I do have a bit of lag, but that's cause the turbo is so freaking huge. from a dead stop, punch the throttle to the floor, within 25ft or so the turbo will start boosting.. and boosting hard :thumbsup

ATX OWNS J00!

10k @ 15psi and still no tranny issues.

Plus, if you grenade it, a new transmission costs about the same as the MTX guys spend on a new performance clutch! :thumbsup heheh

he was possibly meaning you wouldn't build any boost on the line before going unless you had a stahl converter.. but I didn't think manuals could build boost on the line either cause there isn't enough load on the motor... ?

I'm turbo and auto for just over 12k @ 5-10psi no issues (but then agian my trans is supposed to be bullet proof }(

I don't have a high stall and thats whats keeping me from being REALLY fast off the line. I'll kill from a roll tho :evilgrin
