ok thanks, i was just a bit worried because sometimes feels a bit sluggish when i put my foot down, probally just the auto box thinking about it, or maybe i'm getting used to the power now!

Deffo the auto box mate. It can gobble up at least 20-30 bhp in transmission losses.

Reasonably so, can flow enough air to make 280 bhp after which it will be struggling and getting a bit hot. However it has good spool characteristics and picks up well low down.

it seems to lagg a little in high revs though, should of looked into it a bit more before i went lazy and got an auto. I might have to look into get it converted to manual maybe in the future if its not too big a job, see how i get on after some tunings been done! Thanks for the info

Yes it would. However the downside is it would be a bit laggier at the bottom end of the rev range, it's a double edged sword. You will lose a bit of low end urge but will have more at the top end. A good turbo for the autos is the VF 24.
