Boosting the auto trans is a waste of time and money.
1. it simply cant hold the power, and ends up slipping under boost 2. you loose an insane about of power to the ground over a manual. Lew boosted his setup and made about 160hp on the automatic, while manual 5sfTes with the same setup are making 200+. Thats a huge difference. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

That's a huge difference. ok i would like to weigh in on this one ... as far as a waste of time or money, modifying most of any of these cars is a waste of time, and money. as far as the auto holding the power and slipping. i have turbo-ed my st auto for 2 years now and i have not yet once had the tranny slip on me at all. i have put down close to 180+ to the wheels with no slip. now the amount of power loss is more compared to the manual. now not all auto trannies are like the celicas i have turbo-ed a 93 civic auto and it did not last more then 3 weeks on 5 psi of boost with a little 1.5l ,but that was a Honda auto. this is all i have to say ,and please Lagos dont think i am trying to pick a fight i am just expressing my opinion ,and my experiance.
