Default what can I do

Ok I bought a 06 XB AUTOMATIC (auto because it was for the wife) but after i convinced her to take my PT cruiser and I get the box wanted to start working on it. So I put a short ram intake on it and soon to be doing exhaust and manifold but what else can I do for power?? I know there are turbos but wont the increase in power kill the trans, cam, springs, and other things of that sort? Ive also read turbos are for manual trans only. Please dont tell me I was dumb for buying an automatic (Ive already kicked myself)!!!! Thanx for the help[/b]

Really, it's intake, header, exhaust, turbo/supercharger. Other than that, not much else. Unfortunately, there's no real good way to make an xB fast, short of strapping a rocket to it.

I dyno'd today.... 85 hp to the wheels. Oh well I got the thing for fuel economy.
I already have an intake, and will be installing a header.
Maybe later an exhaust.

the rocket thingy would be awsome

There's a thread on a couple of turboed xb's. One I read blew out the tranny and is trying to put a tC's tranny as a replacement.

These things aren't built to go fast, thats for sure.
