it doesn't really matter, because the automatic will change gears for you but I would switch the tranny cause I rather shift gears

turbo it after you get a built auto transaxle so you can boost off of the line and won't lose boost between shifts 'n shit.

bahahahaha.

honestly if u turbo that auto, ur tranny will be gone within a couple months, maybe if u wanna do that since that would force you to get a new tranny, then do the swap. i was in the same situation, i bought all my turbo items and was ready to install, but i figured it be smarter to wait for my 5 speed.
