This is a question for those who have turbo autos. I understand that turbo autos are capable of hitting 90k's in first gear, so what revs does your gearbox shift from first to second gear? and from second to third gear? At full throttle of course. Do they also use a "turbo version" auto computer? The seperate control module i mean. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Mine did around 95 (by the speedo) in first, that was at fuel cut-off which I think is 6,400 Mark
