What the others have said here is definitely true... the torque converter in the autobox definitely helps at launch. Not only because it provides more torque, but it's easier to control so you can get closer to the limit without getting wheelspin. Never mind if you don't like your transmission you can get the turbo spooled while holding the brakes for an even faster launch.
Also, the T25 turbo spools faster and at lower RPM than the TD04. In a 0-30 sprint, that's a big factor. I think both engines have the torque peak spec'ed as 1800 RPM, but if you're looking for big torque at that speed with the Mitsu turbo, you'd better have several minutes to wait for it to spin up! ;^)
