If you had the option.... (Transmissions and Turbos)
To put a turbo kit on a 5spd tC or an auto tC... which would you get?
For the 5spd, you would need to upgrade the clutch (someone let me know how much this costs, with professional installation)?
For the auto, you would need to put in a transmission cooler and still run the risk of blowing out your tranny (how plausible is this at about 8.5psi (dezod auto kit))?
This is a question of transmission reliability, and cheapest cost over the course of 5 years. (i.e., will the auto tranny die in 5 years... and is the cost of an upgraded clutch cheaper than buying an auto-turbo kit (also considering the price difference of the cars)...
Thanks for your input!

P.S. - How about stalling during shifts because of the rich mixture when the BOV vents to the atmosphere (is this problem taken care of with the dezod kit???

I say go with teh 5spd. You can be certain that you will have NO transmission troubles if you upgrade your clutch and flywheel. With the auto at the moment, you really dont know wtf is gonna happen even if you add a transmission cooler. Its not just about keeping it cool, its about whether or not the internals can handle a lot of stress at any given moment. There are transmission upgrades for the auto but its going to cost more than it would to upgrade a clutch and flywheel on a 5spd. For this reason, I am buying a new 5spd tC early next year...

I have no clue. Ive never built any of my cars very far so I dont know what is recommended there. I mean I really dont think its necessary to upgrade the flywheel if you arent running a lot of power but maybe it would help some to have it anyways.

What does the lightweight flywheel do actually? I live in an area (New Mexico) where there isnt a whole lot of traffic and many many open roads so Id like to know what Id be missing if I didnt get one on a 5spd.

Lighter flywheel will let the engine rev easier and faster, since there is less weight to move. However, this will make stalling a bit easier because of the extra weight loss, or so i've heard about the stalling.
