yea. i dont think there has really been an stock auto tranny out there that held up with a turbo on our cars anyways. But from what i read in the FI section. There are some trannys that blew up in 3 months and some still going on 1+ year. So luck of the draw. But chances are your tranny will last longer with a SC.
Turbo cars have higher potiental tho. But i love the SC whine a lot better then a BOV.

for safety reasons the supercharger would be better. But faster? i doubt it. There is also the fact that with an auto boost is kept pretty much at full pressure til you let off the gas. No letting go to shift=no loss of boost.....just a thought.

a blow off valve is what releases the air preassure form the system when you let your foot off the gas pedal. when you let off the gas and the TB plate closes, the air in the system has no where to go, the BOV lets it out.

Lose response how? The only way one would lose reponse would be by tuning the car with too much timing pulled in the wrong spots of the rpm band. Or building a motor with lower compression to run more boost, then off throttle response will suffer.
The amout of boost is irrelevant. It is the amout of power one makes that matters. With a VQ30 maxima your boosting a 10.5:1 compression motor that runs alot of timing advance. No need to push alot of boost through it. I made an extra 100whp and 100wtq on 5psi.

Like many said, with an auto the S/C seem the best way to go, unless you want to go Nitrous. A TI will cost you much more $$$ and require a lot more tuning, because the TI produce much power. If you are ready to spend top $$$ you can have the auto tranny rebuilt and it will sustain 600HP but it's gooing to cost you 3G.
One of the main downside of a TI on an auto is the piping, I mean there is just no room because the auto tranny is much bigger than the stick and thus you will be scraping city street like **** and damage the piping very quickly. I would think that for an auto to get turbo you need first to swap the tranny for a stick unless there is something that I dont get it ( which is very possible, I'm 44 and I still learn everyday) lol. I have had the same dilema, I have a 2k1 auto with all the bolt on
and my #1 choice was to go with a Turbo but spending 9G on that doesn't make any sense. I'm going to boost the max with a Vortech V2 and Matty's plate, if I can hit 300HP I'll be happy. Just for you guys to know I already contact Vortech and they are willing to sell me a S/C for 1500$ or less depending on the trim. With Matty's plate and all the other parts & electronics required I think I can have a good reliable set-up for around 4G. With the Jdubs body kit that I ordered, I'll be the only S/C max in canada with that incredible look so it should calm my appetite for a good while.
Good luck.
