ZPI's turbo kits do work with the automatics. Take ScionDad for example...

replacing the torque converter. replacing a lot of the springs, and replacing all of the weak parts in the actual transmission.

however, the tC auto tranny can handle up to about 250whp safely (as a daily driver)

im sure if you were to go to a shop that specializes in beafing up the auto tranny, they would have something. But as far as buying the parts off of a website, youre out of luck.

Torque converters on the otherhand are definetely available. Search for the Level10 torque converters.

However, if you are looking to stay under 250whp, you wont "need" to do anything to your transmission.
