Is it possible to turbo an automatic gen1 xB?

I got to thinking the other night, and I wasn't sure if it is possible or not. Does anyone know whether or not it is possible?

Quite possible. Many have done it already. Check into Vettereddie's ride.

People have done it. I guess the trans can handle a 50% power increase okay.

Yes and start searching, dude. There are tons who have done it. The most obvious is 365 Motorwerks... they not only turboed their auto box @ 200k miles, but they also sell the kit, and it's lustworthy.

Yes! My thoughts exactly. Also check out Zack from 365 Motorwerks. He has an auto turbo too.

It's possible. Just make sure the trans fluid stays cooled.
