Re: Boost/APC level Automatic vs. Manual trans Posted by DietrichOS [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Re: Boost/APC level Automatic vs. Manual trans, CMyles ![]() |
OK, another question. My car is probably not putting out the power it should. I have been driving it around for 11 months like this since i bought it. If i am happy with it the way it is, should I fix it? Is it going to screw up my turbo or anything else? The car passed smog without a problem in its current condition.
The reason I am not really too hot on fixing it is I have heard that the turbo motors can destroy the somewhat fragile Automatic, and if my car is putting out a little less power, well, I would consider that an advantage. It is fast enough for me now, not really interested in hot rodding around.
The car does not get good fuel economy, about 20 MPG. My dad's five-speed turbo 'vert has returned as high as 33 MPG on the freeway. I always chalked this up to only having three gears. Could my lack of boost, either from APC or vaccum problems, contribute to my bad fuel econ?
Thanks for any advice.
