Can an AUTOMATIC be super/turbo charged?

May be a n00b question, but I'd like to know. I know the TRD Supercharger is manual only.

Sure it can. The TRD one will be available with a kit to install on an auto. And turbo automatics can be pretty quick since you never have to let off the gas between shifts.

i think sciondad put a turbo in his auto with some modifications. search some of his posts.

i am getting more and more interested in putting a turbo in my auto too but its probably going to be a long way off for me. leaves alot of time for research though!

Turbo automatic is nice, you never fall out of boost between shifts. Its a constant feeling of being pushed back in your seat.

If you all just wate until the end of January I will have all forged internals and an upgraded setup from the stage 1 ZPI kit. There is a lot of other stuff but we'll leave that for when its done.

I believe Kenny said something about this to me. All I can say is....That is going to be one sick setup.

I can't wait for you to release the final product to the forum.

and i hope appropriately you are automatic? :D

but anyway, i hope more people go turbo/auto, because as i have been debating going turbo myself, the biggest argument against it has been NO LSD IS OUT THERE FOR US.

the stage 0 turbo with intercooling gives around 250whp, plus the exhaust i already have will tack on another 8-15, and then emanage tuning will give it another jump of anywhere from 10-20. all that with an open differential? that's crazy.
