On my list of future mods i have 5 spd swap, boost, and nitrous. I figured it really wouldnt matter wen i get the nitrous (either before or after swap), but would it be more logical to get the swap before going boost. well, wut im really asking is if turboing the car before the swap will make it harder on the swap or do they have nothing to do with eachother, other than i would have to buy an ecu twice. is turbo or s/c on an auto even worth it? could an auto expect the same gains as compared to a 5 speed respectively? sorry bout the noob questions, but gotta start somewhere

i hear turbo is horrible for auto's. Not only does the tranny need a lot of extra maintenance sh*t but...its just awful lol. Also for most setups i've seen, piping may go under tranny for cheaper setups. I would def do the swap before FI. You need time to practice 5 speed anyway plus less worries versus doing it the other way.

the 5spd trans is physically smaller + there are no trans cooler lines for the 5spd so it makes routing the turbo piping easier

plus like said it would be a very good idea to lurn to drive a stick befor boosting because if your boosted your going to want to race the car and if you dont know how to shift well youll be missing shifts and grinding gears and greatly increase your chances of breaking somthing

i know how to drive stick, but a little more practice wouldnt hurt of course. in an auto, are there always gonna be problems with the tranny slipping with boost? ive read a bunch of threads where trannys cant handle shifts at wot. but ontheotherhand, a bunch of people agreeing that their autos are handling it for the most part.
