Tell him that he's not alowed into the [sm=smiley35.gif]car community anymore. He probably drives a SMART car, am I right?

I hope he was high when he told you that... auto's just arent as much fun as manuals, plus you are losing out on alot of power. In other words... an auto can DEFINATELY be turbo'd

Not only can you turbo an auto, you can kick a lot a *** with one. Ever drive a turbo (auto) 180sx?

depends on how much boost your planning on pushing... if its like 8 lbs or less you'll be alright.

either should be fine under low boost... if you plan on bumping it up in the near future then go for the D16 tranny now.
