Default Turbo/Supercharge AT XB 05 ?

Well I was going to do a motor swap but forget that idea too much money involved. So I am checking to see what my be involved with turbo/supercharge an automatic tranny 2005 XB. Is it worth my while? I do not race I am looking for show points. Has anyone used the Greddy one or do you know something better. And while I am on the subject of show points any ideas on this. I am an NCCA member.

I'd boost it.

Greddy makes a good turbo kit for the box, so does Turbotoyotas.
If you want a Supercharger, get the Blitz.

they do work with the auto. in fact, some are made only for auto.
the GReddy supercharger or turbo are good, researched kits, and they look nice. the Blitz is a bit more common i think. the least common supercharger would be PowerEnterprise, which is a bit harder to find but is pretty sweet i think. Turbotoyotas' kits also have good rep, but i don't know how pretty they are. (seeing as how you're going for show rather than go)

Hell, if you got the money laying around...

The guys involved in the NCCA points chase are pretty intense about maxing out.
