turbo is one of the best cause ther is less spike on the boost or somthing like that, but yes the auto trany can't take the high boost, but i think ur good till like 300 hp, else upgrade that tranny, i could be wrong, the reason i have soem knowledge about turbo wif auto if cause my friend has a twin turbo supra tha is auto,and he does all teh research 4 me, i got question i just ask him.. same wif turbo when i get ther, but if some1 can tell me how much hp the stock tranny can handle i would appreated it, cause i'm doin engine build up first then turbo, then upgrade teh stock tranny wif a stall converter

then i will go insane boost

Not to flame you, or anybody else, but from who I've personally spoken with, turbocharged Hondas are not "all that and a bag of chips." You get more out of any engine, in a racing situation, w/ manual shifting, unless you're experienced in dealing w/ automatic line converters, like those sold by Stillen for 300Z's... Even then, I think most would agree that manual's the way to go, for ANY situation besides rush hour traffic driving.
