False, most of the big power turbo fits are auto. of the >225whp fits I've had a hand, the majority in were auto. 1st and 2nd gen.

The cvt's I could see having an issue, but nothing that couldn't be remedied with time and money

Some websites still advertise the KWSC kits on their sites, so maybe they still have them in stock. Just do a search on Google.

Nevermind:

corsportusa.com
evasivemotorsports.com
exceleratperformance.com

Do you happen to recall what turbo kits the auto fits had or were they custom builds?

The custom flashpro tunes that you do are they more for race inspired fits or just anything in general?

Most of the auto builds were over-seas in RHD Fits. Majority of those were custom. However.. They do have several RHD kits available and a lot more support from local shops then we have here.

As far as the Flashpro is concerned, I tune to your needs.

^ This guy. You want a custom AT turbo build and tune, he IS the man.

Those >225whp AT Fit's over seas were built and tuned by his plans and mind

There are no commercially available viable AT Turbo or SC kits left on the market in the US.

THE LAST, Kraftewerks High Boost, FULL kit for MT that is in box and on the shelf in the Kraftwerks SoCal facility, JUST got posted for sale on FaceBook yesterday afternoon ... I'd be surprised if its not already sold.

There are assuredly many that were not of my involvement however, this stuff is much more common in south east asia and indonesia.

Ton of Turbo AT's in Jakarta!
