hehe i have a AUTOMATIC! and i can even manage to keep my car in the 'power band' the most power i can pull is between 3,000RPM in first, 4,000 in second and by the time i hit rev's in 3rd or 4th im going 150kph.. so its not much use even know what rev's to hit on up there, but ofcourse its nice to hit right on spool at 3000-3500k RPM in any gear.

as for NA power being able to handle better, the only real benefits i see is that your power doesnt change when you're going around corners, but if you're in a corner you shouldnt be using much gas at all. brake >> corner >> get back on. i cant see why you'd want to be above 3000RPM in any corner anyhow (atleast tight corners) with the turbo you will definetaly lose traction, but you also gain power... lots of power.

give me the boost anyday. it may take more tuning and stuff breaks more and it costs more... but what is lost in annoyance is made up in fun! plus you get to swoosh at other cars with your BOV!
