My car was a uk TT auto but the guy I bought it off changed it too a manual, is there a difference between the turbos from a auto to the maunal and does it make a difference?

 

cheers Mark

IIRC auto turbos are slightly smaller and have slightly less lag. No idea if you'd notice it though

ok thanks for the advice bud.

Do a quick search for "auto turbos", there's a few posts about your question ;)

I have to say, my first 300zx was an auto and i had it converted to a manual, I notice that my currently 300zx has been a manual all its life and I'm convinced that the first one used to spool up quicker at lower revs!

cheers for the info quavey:-)

yup autos have differnt cams and turbos to spool up quicker and make up for the grannie box :D they do say that through the gears a converted auto will be quicker because of less lag. i seem to rember something on the subject of them handling less boost if planning to up the boost, hope that helps
