Default Is it worth it on an auto?

Ok I have an auto tC....not my first choice but due to it was used at a good price I couldn't pass it up! (anyhting to get out my honda) Anyhow Ive done a few styling mods and got the TSUDO Catbackand now I am torn. I can either go for more stylingsuch as the kami kit and maybe leather interior or possibly turbo it. I was wanting to get everyones opiniononif its worth it? If it's safe for daily drive on auto tranny? How much boost could i push safely? Whats estimated whp? Thanks alot guys for all the help.I just want to get alot of opinions and research before I put money into this...especially something that could possibly endanger the cars mobility which I need for work and school.

Just make it into a nice sounding clean comfy ride. I wouldn't recommend turboing an auto unless you seriously race or something of that sort..I don't even know why I want to turbo my car honesty :D...I want leather seats for sure though.

Having a turbo on my auto tC is worth it, for me it's more fun to drive now. However if you're worried about the reliably, then don't bother especially if you don't know enough about F/I.

Just get the Dezod Auto setup and you'll be good to go. But let me tell you, expect issues. I'm experiencing them right now. Not with the tranny, but with something else. Just how it is. But I say its worth it. Having expereinced a turbo'd car, I love it! For an auto 5-7psi should be safe. THe dezod set up comes with everything, even EMS and a tranny cooler. good luck!
