I searched and didn't come up with the info i needed.
I noticed that with stageI turbos it says auto transmission can be used, but stageII is just for manual transmissons. What is the reason? I was thinking its the torque converter, but im really not sure. I would like to get a stageII turbo, but i need to know what needs to be done for it to work. Thanks in advance.
i was looking at the stageII hahn kit
I would assume that the charge pipes from the turbo to the intercooler to the throttle body may not hit the manual transmission since it is quite a bit smaller than the automatic transmission
Of course I could be wrong
build your own kit, it'll be more compatible with your engine bay.

the big issue is, in fact, the torque converter. i have talked to Hahn about this in detail and apparently at anything other than 0 throttle or 100 throttle the slippage is enough to make it tear itself up. maybe if you got a stronger converter it might work but that is as of yet untested.
Spotabee Racing: how about instead of jumping in this post and telling people to make their own stuff you post something useful. if you cant then dont post at all.

thanks man, ill look into a better torque converter that can handel it, but does anyone know for sure if there is enough room in the engine bay

BINGO!
One reason why if i wanna use Mike Karas bad ass manifold like i am. I have to change trannies too. Plus im scared of the Auto taking a crap on me anyway.

my post was useful. when you have piping made for your car, you don't have to worry about a companies R&D not quite fitting right. plus it costs less.

^ ^ ^ i understand what you are saying, but im new to boost and i would rather be safe and buy the whole kit.
Anyways, i'm going to look for a torque converter that wont have the slippage and see if hahn can get a setup that will fit on an auto ecotec. Does anyone know of a torque caonvert that would work, or should i just search/post in the transmission forum?
Seriously, I wouldn't be worried about the TC, many people have put a ton of power through the stock tc and its worked out just fine so far. Hahn has some odd research methods, they won't make a kit for the 2.4's because they think they are weak engines, but they'll make one for the 2200

Buy stuff from CarCustoms Ebay! Won't be disappointed!
once again shifted beats me to the post. If you ask around you will find that auto's will actually hold more power better(stock for stock) although a new TC would be nice it's not needed at all just ask some auto boost members.

Thats pretty much what i needed to know. So people have ran a full stage II on an auto with the stock TC.
But since the sites that sells them still asks for the transmission, is there any difference in the kit that is sold for a manual vs auto.
