This is a great thread. I also want to go turbo. But this is what I gathered. For the turbo to really shine you need an auto. The six speed is fun but it will be hard to control and drive a very high hp car. Too wild and you will just spin once the boost kicks and just blows the tires.
Blower is fun for the street. It's just if you want a crazy ride you have to roll around with race gas all the time. 19 lb vs 25 is huge. I use vp100 and to be honest it was cool at first but now it's annoying and expensive. Pump gas twin screw wasn't cutting it.
The turbo you can go from pump to race gas in a flash. With the auto my friends tt cobra at 14 lbs would piss all over my 22 lb 2.9 whipple setup. I have been in the car and it's retared. I refused the 20 lb round as he said the car gets silly.
So I guess IMO if you want an all out street brawler and track car go auto turbo. If you just want a fun fast street car with loads of tq and occasional strip use stay with the blower six speed.
