I'd say #2 simply because the driver is controlling the shifts not the computer screwing with it.

automatic with a manual vb and transbrake with a 2 or 3step rev limiter for the line will beat the manual all day long with a boosted set-up.

auto because the boost will not drop at all when shifting because your foot stays in the gas no matter what.
