It does mean that the Auto will suit a turbo more as the extra torque will make better use of the longer gears.

This is true, but in sixth gear the manual could hit 170MPH if it had the torque to do so. So a turbo/charger boosting power to 300BHP is still unlikely to get it up to the red line in the manual.

Im not sure why the ratios are so different? I vaguely remember reading somewhere that it has the auto box from the IS250 so perhaps that has something to do with it. If this is true the auto box should be good for a bit more torque from a charger/turbo
