Auto or Manual?

Hey would it be better to go with a manual or automatic tranny with a turbo setup? and if i plan on spendin the money would it be better to go for the 6 speed instead of the 5??

I would think that with a turbo it would be best to go with a manual, that way you can build up the boost. And I would also think that a T56 would be the way to go, to get that 2nd OD gear.

wella not to be a **** or any thing but you cant build boost off the line with a stick, off a rez you only build 1-2lbs of boost. you really want an auto because you can stall is and that builds boost. Their has to be a load on the engine for the turbo to build boost

I too agree a auto goes better with a turbo. Everytime you let off the throttle to shift you lose your boost.
