what the hell is everyones problem at this forums? A guy asks a question if your not going to answer it or give a positive response why the hell post? If there were no threads like this the forums would be dead boring. your not cool by posting "search" in every thread.

I'm with you, when I go into the library I yell at the old lady behind the counter.

"Get me a book on dinosaurs b*tch!"

I mean what the hell, am I a bloodhound?

Of course I have upgraded my turbo setup. The boost gets turned up every day.

And to the OP, here is one of the links turned up by searching on "turbo automatic"

https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...urbo+automatic
If you haven't found them by now, most of the links are in the Aftermarket Performance > Automatic" section or under "Major Horsepower upgrades"

They go together quite well. Of course it's all in the tuning.
