I have most all the parts I ned to turbo my 01 x cab auto. I intentionally got an auto, why?! Gearing in auto and manual is poor at best, 1st gear barely gets you rolling, but the auto shifts faster and harder w/o wear than a manual could. Most fast turbo vehicles (Straight line ) are auto...example?! Buick Grand National, I know a bit about those too, see sig. I agree the auto eats more power w/ ineffency, but you cant spool a turbo as easily in a manual as an auto. Oh, and 200 WHP in a frontier would wear out most street cars....I'll post pics when completed with mine.
