yep an automatic car can be turbo'd, and it could be a plus because its hard to shift faster and smoother then a computer...
i know there are alot of turbo'd and s/c automatics
as for air i m pretty sure he is, i know some ppl from clubel..

Upgrade to a higher stall torque converter, that would be a big plus.

I have to look but I used ot have this web site that was DIY for "tiptronic" you can turn this thing on and upshift split second. Although you can't use it to downshift so you have to turn it off and let the tranny down gear by itself...If you're interested in doing it, let me know and I'll try my best to dig it up.
My buddy did it in his colt and i couldn't believe he was screeching 3rd with an auto box.

Actually in this case, a supercharger is an option to consider. While it will provide less horsepower then a turbocharger, most likely, the fact that the auto tranny can only support a certain amount of limited power anyways negates the potential for more power with a turbo.
The upside of going supercharged with an auto tranny is that you will have most of your power at low rpm's which is exactly where you want it with an auto car. Unless you keep driving your car at WOT, an auto tranny will upshift before you see the benefits of a 48/60.
Konfuzed, I sent you a pm with some info. The shops that say it CANT be done are being silly. It CAN be done, but like I said in the pm, our auto trannies unfortunatly have their limits. 160whp shouldn't be much of a problem, but anything above that gets risky. I would say 180whp would have to be the limit, but thats just an estimate.
