are you gonna convert it to stick??? that's not worth the money... take the car back to the dealer and suffer the loss... do turbo after you get the stick...

if you are goin stick go trade it in... if you convert, it'll cost you a tranny, clutch, fly wheel, ecu, wire harness, pedel, etc... it's not worth it...

rrm's kit fits on an auto and is still pretty fast. you can be faster than sticks with the right mods. to convert to stick you would spend far more than building an auto correctly.

Guru what mods would someone with an auto tranny need to do to beat sticks? I have an auto and I am thinking in the future of turbo for my car.

Thanks

well all mods the same it is going to be tough for an auto to beat a stick, however if you were to turbo w/intercooler, pistons and such. port polish the head and intake, header, (so far looks like RRM turbo kit stage 2). Then on the transmission side get a built torque converter, look into having your tranny built (extra frictions and steels instead of that assininly large end plate in our clutch packs).

Next you will need it tuned.

Yes seems costly however for the cost of a turbo kit and manual conversion you could have all this and more and be right up there with the fastest manuals.
