Plain and simple answer.... Yes. It may not be as quick as a manual turboed xB, but it will still be one super fun car to drive.

Over the past 15 years. One thing that I have noticed is that Toyota really does overbuild their transmissions. It will take a lot more abuse and tq than what our engines are making now.

I Supercharged my xB Auto and I love it. I would install a trans cooler and go to synthetic trans fluid to keep the heat down.

Well I know Rocket got a discount on his, but when I bought mine it was $60 shipped from Pep Boys.
