it's not that it is hard to tune-- it's just not built for any kind of power, you'll just kill the automatic transmission.
the 5 speed is simply stronger. it is a WASTE OF MONEY to build an auto.
i understand you want to do the whole trial and error thing, but when you've thrown 20k out the window i won't feel sorry for you.
the turbo will kill the NA on the dyno. i'm not talking by like 10hp, i'm talking like 60+, we've been there before and this is by far the best method of making power. it is upgradable. it makes major gains. and it is a bigger bang for the buck. we are in this together and that is the point of the forum.
now could you please keep your posts more concise, use paragraphs please.
