What is the disadvantage of having a Turbo on auto. I see most autos going SC. I wouldn't mind the torque turbos give and make about the same HP as SC do

its not a disadvantage at all. you'll actually hold boost better than a manual would.

It's a nice, quick shift too. It shifts perfectly every time

So the stage 1 is non-intercooled? Wouldn't that cause some heat-soak after awhile?

i might be wrong, but if someone can correct me, but doesnt heat soak only applies to supercharged vehicles?

Well, I thought that heat soak occurred from the hot compressed air being pushed into the combustion chamber whilst not being cooled first

with it running low boost, it really doesn't create that much heat. Thats my view point... I could be wrong or I could be right

im running 10psi on the big turbo, and i have a really good throttle response. also the tune determines that too.

and i would recommend it. i have a lot of fun, thinking i would have fun going sc. with this is much more fun lol

i light up my tires in 2nd. (well that is due because my tires are rated ~500 threadwear lol)
