unless he's got other/new plans, its not a VW auto. i think its an auto tranny from an omni. apparently its a similar setup to what neon guys use, and perhaps other peeps as well. i would hope that he is shooting for better than the low 12's too. the setup that was in his rabbit at 12.5 is running mid-high 12's in an A2, on street tires. his new setup has a turbo thats as big as your head. and i shit you not. check out the pictures. as far as turbo's and trannies go, yip and brett are right on with their comments, with the understanding that somtimes things happen to people when they get older... non-turbo cars suffer with auto's if for no other reason than crappy gear ratios. and of course, if its a VW, its crappy gear ratios AND a crappy tranny. manual turbos are still fun though...there's something cool about dropping down into fourth and losing traction.... ben _____________ List Sponsor: http://www.netsville.com To remove yourself from this list, send mail to [email protected] with 'unsubscribe a2_16v' in the body of your message See us on the web at http://www.a2-16v.com Visit the 16V Homepage at http://www.gti16v.org
