Whenever you have complete control over the drivetrain (ie: stick), you're
better off, IF you know what you're doing. And yes, I know autos have
advantages over a manual trans. Particularly in the performance area I'm
at now. An automatic can be faster, and more stable through the quarter
mile. BUT, I plain don't like autos. So that's my reasoning for using a
manual trans. Has nothing to do with whether it will work better or not
with the turbos. I just hate autos in my performance car.
BTW, don't know why you brought up brakes. My brakes work fine!
