What do you mean stocker? Transmission right? The Twistec stall unit, I believe, lets you stall up to a higher RPM. I think a standard AT can stall up to around 2500. I haven't heard of anyone with one though, so I couldn't tell you how it performs.

I was told by TwisTec that the stall speed on theirs is 2800-3000 RPMs, thats really all I know about it.

The higher stall speed allows you to get more revs in for launching. The stock unit pulls from a much lower range, probably around 1000-1500, so the car is pulling as you bring the revs up at the starting line.

Are they worth it for a turbo'd manual?

Wont work with a manual, only autos have torque converters.
