Default 96 Spyder gst automatic turbo upgrade?

hey guys

I would like to know if its worth it to upgrade to a larger turbo with an automatic transmission? A transmission swap to a 5speed is not an option. Im wondering just wondering the performance differences between an auto turbo and manual turbo? Also would any transmission upgrades need to be made?

. . .the engine is stock with an intake and cat back. . .

thanks for any info

Well it depends no the HP you want. If your just thinking a 16g upgrade then the auto is fine and there isnt a difference in performance HP output between the 2.

Thanks for the reply.

Well I want the most (safest) amount of HP I can get without pulling the engine and doing major mods. This assuming I upgrade to a bigger intercooler. Advice on a turbo/ intercooler combo that would be good for my situation?

big16g is the best for what your looking for. The only problem you might end up with is traction on a FWD car. But the engine will be fine
