Also don't lose sight of the fact that the Auto tranny is physically bigger than the manual, thus space for piping and such becomes a major issue. It can be done of course. Just more of a PITA than it is for a 5 speed.

if any auto comes to KY, I would gladly have the kit fitted to their car, and would love to see what an auto max could do !

I know I said this before, but again if I had the money I would drive up to your place and get the turbo install on my auto.

I don't understand this cause there are s/c auto's pushn around 270 hp and there tranny's are holdn up fine with just the vb and tranny cooler so i don't see why a turbo auto won't with low to moderate boost. I dunno i guess we will find out. I am planning on doing my auto in the spring when i get my tax check. I might have pfi do it or i may have hlh0501 do it. I am also gonna talk to another shop that has opened in colorado and see if they can do it for any cheaper. But expect my car to be turbo charged by the spring and we'll see if my tranny will hold up to the boost.

i guess im one of the only if not the only one that has ever turboed an auto Max. Coming from experince, i wouldnt recommend it. even with a valvebody upgrade i blew my tranny. YOu guys should see the pics of those lil magnet things that have in the pan.
i dunno if this affects wear on the tranny more, usually turbos put out more torque then a supercharger, also turbos run hotter then superchargers.
The plantenary gears in the auto trans is actaully really strong, i think its the clutchs and bands that always fail.
