i understand all the emotional arguments about a manual tranny... and for benchracing purposes i agree wholehartedly... but on a turbo car.. it would be lunacy to install a manual tranny simply for he fact that every time you lift the acceletaror and depress the clutch your turbo is loosing revs and you are loosing boost... i know that a blow off valve can help out some.. but yoy are still venting energy into thin air, and not towards the pavement.. heck even supras are faster on the drag strip with powerglides than with high dollar 6 speed trannys and carbon clutches...
and if you plan to drive the car arround it is much.. much nicer to enjoy the ride in trafic than perpetually working the clutch because the guy in front of you is 1 mph slower than your car is running in first gear at idle.. (and with a clutch that can handle a TT engine, you will propably do real damnage to you knee that way)
