would auto tranny work with a turbo?
i was thinking if an automatic transsmision work with a turbo. a lot of peole said it does as lon as you keep the boost down and then when you go higher you should get a torque converter.is this true? look this is what i found in a old sports compact mag:
Do turbos work with automatic transmissions?
Yes, there are many cars that come from the factory with both turbos and automatic transmissions. In fact an automatic transmission has the benefit of not closing the throttle between shifts, unlike with a manual transmission, where you (should) let off the gas when shifting. This means that the turbo continuously makes boost through the gears without interruption. You can also build boost before even starting, by putting load on the engine through power-braking (stepping on the gas & brake at the same time), which you can't do with a manual transmission.
what do you think?
