Thanks, Jeff, for the correction(s).

You got my point about the situation wherein as (turvo) engine efficiencey RE airflow through the engine with better breathing due to cam, headers, etc., the boost numbers would actually decline, rather than increase, so mods to increase power should not push a stock turbo setup into "illegal" territory on a telltale bosst gauge. Lots more power is available at the lowered boost levels.

I didn't realize that consistency was enhanced in these cars by using a manual transmission.

Why is that?

Thanks for any information, and for your thoughts on this...
