If you're ricey like me, you can anticipate the shifts and let off the accellerator hard during the shifts. It sounds exactly like a 5 speed. Pisses off the TCU, but if you practice you can time it so its still shifting by the time you're back on the gas.
I personally think a S20G would be the perfect turbo for an ATX. The s16g just seems to spool TOO fast, I wish it'd just spool all the way thru 1st, and burn tires thru 2nd and 3rd.
