WGAF which one. I would do the XR, but thats just me. Why boost a bar just because some people on a forum told you to?

well if your going to make your decision based on the amount of posts then i vote the wagon.. just cos its an auto but if you choose the xr get a quick shifter.

i think its mainly in the driving, turbos just respond well with an auto setup. im not realy sure why i guess its a matter of opinion ..maybe less boost lost between changes, auto box ratios are lower in the first 3 gears but makes up for it in a higher ratio diff which will suit the boost range. converter slippage, ect.

Being able to sit on the stall and spool a turbo up.

That and the T5 not liking a hard time, particularly in 3rd.

WGAF. if youre gunna spend the money on a turbo you should at least want to drive the car rather than just steer...

Spooling = clutch, then dumpage. much more exciting than auto.
