And look at the MAM Sleeper turbo kit. Or buy the turbo set up from a wrecked P5 (ck FS section).
If you are doing the MSP route -= find a wrecked car and parts pick it (take the tranny. eh? You CAN operate a stick shift, yes? Only 16yr old girls REQUIRE an auto...
) and sell the carcass.

You guys keep gettin it wrong.
HP isn't what kills automatic transmissions. It's torque. You could make 500whp on an automatic protege safely as long as the torque is kept to around 170wtq or so.
lastly, MAM is no more...as I predicted many moons ago. HiBoost or OEM MSP setup is the only way to fly.

As I thought. So let's look at it this way.
A = higher HP
B = higher torque
C = dead auto tranny
If A leads to B, and B leads to C, then why the hell can't we just presume that A leads to C as well? I find that to be just as accurate if the relationship between HP & torque is linear as I thought..

+1.. keeping torque down but raising HP would require lots of custom work on this engine... i.e. it would cost WAY more than just getting a manual transmission :P.
I assume a near 1:1 torque:hp ratio when talking about these cars.. since everyone just has bolt-ons it works well enough.
