im looking into buying a 92 tsi awd turbo automatic, it has 140,000 miles on tranny, is this bad or are they good trannys, engine bottom end was rebuilt 20,000 ago, rebuilt turbo, and ported intake manifold. what should i look for before i buy it.

 

we answered this maybe 6 threads ago...

 

ok thanks, i never checked to c if it was post before, thanks

 

why do they make AWD automatics? what are they good for?

 

well go to dsmtuners.com the fastest car there is a automatics, dragsters are mostly automatics, fast drag cars have automatics, so whats so bad about them, they can be made just as fast as a manual. im not trashing just makin a point.

 

the great thing about auto's is consistant ET's....thats great for bracket racing.

 

unless you have 1000hp and a powerglide youre better off with a manual

 

*cough* bullshit *cough* ported intake manifold? I am curious exactly what was done........

the autos are doing just fine. get a converter and a shift kit and have some nice launches, build boost on the line, and run no blow off valve at the track.

many advantages to running the auto. as far as I know no one is having any trouble with autos.

 

at least i have a few peopel on my side, and for the ported intake manifold, thats just what the own says he has done to it, he says he also has reipts to prove it but we'll c when i go to look at it.

 

not to bash automatics but the 1 gen autos have smaller injectors (390's i think) and and a smaller turbo 13b. other wise how much is he asking and what kind of shape is it in?
