I don't think a turbo in an automatic is going to be the best idea. You can do engine mods and stuff, but I wouldnt go with a turbo without doing an auto to manual swap.

well, if you want power, get an H22, if you want to stay with auto, you can, but it wont be as fun as a stick

i've heard a lot of **** about doing that, i dont know from expirience so i cant say. i remember a couple years back there was an auto prelude in super street. he said he wasnt having any issues with it so that could be an option. you could always build a nitrous setup, i've heard that works well with auto trannys

you can boost an auto no problem just dont go crazy on boost, you know most of what was said is not true because it's all "i heard" not "i did". everything has it's limits and when you reach those get Level Ten's clutch kit
