Hello.

I don't mean to repeat topics that have been brought up before, but would there be a genuine value of putting a turbo kit, or s/c, or Nitrous Oxide hookup on an Automatic Transmission Scion xB? Please, I don't want to hear about manuals. Simply approaching this question from a theoretical and practical standpoint. :)

If I was to do this, would I see the most performance gains in low to mid-range acceleration, or top end cruising speeds only? :)

Thank you for your time and consideration, hoping to have some good solid information.

Take care,
Wonderhut

s/c you will see gains through out the powerband.
nitrous you will see when ever you hit the button or when you have it set up to inject.
t/c you will see more in the middle to upper with most being in the upper.

Putting these on a ATX would be no different the a MTX. The engine will make the same power in both.

Thank you for your reply! :)

Are there any fundamental risks above and beyond installing these ittems on an Auto tranny versus a Manual tranny? (Obviously any bolt on can potentially damage youyr engine if used improperly or too hard)

I feel that the MTX will see more abuse since the ATX is controlle by the computer.

Hehe, my questions are answered fully now, thank you for your knowledge Kwic! I have some cool mechanical and electronic mods planned for when I actually procure my xB.
