i converted my (then) bog stock turbo from auto to manual, and i can tell you... manual (shifted reasonably) KILLS it! the manual boosts pretty easy, from about 2500rpm (similar to auto) but it didn't make heaps good boost until you're in 2nd. i'd estimate when it was auto, it would get to 80km/h in the same time the manual would get to 100km/h. hope that answers the question dude! ask away for anything else.
