next ? is how much boost does a stock fd push and how much can it handle

Stock boost is 10 PSI.

The stock turbos aren't that effective beyond 16-17 PSI. However, stock engine internals can run much higher if you have upgraded twins or a single turbo upgrade.

whats the max amount of boost that stock internals can handle? and what can i do to make it handle more?

There really is no "exact" number. There are a lot of things it depends on. However, with an automatic you are going to be extremely limited unless you have a lot of $$$. The auto tranny will not hold up to a lot of power unless you have it rebuilt with Level 10 or similar internals (and that's not cheap).

im planning on getting a 5speed manual im guessing it going to be around about 2g to get it and have it put in
i think it would help my car out alot because the auto shifts slow and early

It depends on what you want. There are many auto owners on here that are extremely happy with it.

The trick to owning the auto is learning how to use the HOLD function.

so what do you think my car will run with its mods and the auto, low 14's?

1/4 mile "times" depend on the driver, tires and other factors... You can have a 10 second capable car but that doesn't mean every person who sits in it will make a 10 second pass.

Trap speeds are more of an indication of "what the car is capable of".

Woah! Stock Twins lose effectiveness ~16-17 psi? I always thought it was around 15psi, thanks for the info Mahjik! Now i have a new max boost setting

Laters!
