s/c a d16? i don't think so.

it makes sense to turbo an auto because you won't drop out of the powerband as much. but it doesn't make sense because auto's can't handle the boost as well (i've heard of many trannies going out because it was turbo'd) plus you lose alot of hp with an auto. i have an auto, but i'm going to switch over to a manual before i really do anything to the engine.
