drove it.. received my headlight harness yesterday so i can now have high beams. got word today that my right rims have been shipped. springs wont be here until the 11th i found out they shipped overseas on a boat. so he gave me $75 in store credit and 10% off all future purchases. gonna install the harness tomorrow and finally get my waste gate adjusted. also have a clunking sound idk what it is.. every time i get on or let off the gas its like the wheels have play? suspension related? i just replaced the driver front wheel hub..

This makes me want to turbo mine, but I bought the car from my dad and its an auto. I feel if anything I should supercharge it since its auto.

I got told wrong, I got told a supercharger was better for automatic and they were for certain they were right. Until I got told differently by someone who actually knows.

Also I feel like a turbo automatic doesnt even feel worth it.

I guess maybe in some aspect supercharge may be better for an automatic I even read that somewhere. Guess I'm wrong.

Being automatic doesn't matter. You'll lose power/speed compared to a manual.

It is, obviously, harder to spool your turbo since you're automatic but anything past that isn't a big deal.

Majority of Volvo's and VW's are turbo'd automatics.

Super is cheaper but harder to make power, turbo is more expensive but power options are pretty easy. Dont lose boost with auto turbo, if you want the full benefit you most likely will need to build your motor.

Me personally, I'm going SC just to make it a bit more fun til I can afford something nicer
