Default tranmission on NA-T for Auto?

Is there any solution to go for auto and turbo?? I don't want to spend extra money for swapping out my tranny for 5spd. I like my car without the shifting hassle. I know ppl say the auto tranny doesn't hold more than 300hp. Any solution to fix it? This is for the SC300.

rebuild/shift kit/valve body job either way its $$$$$ but worth it if done properly

Easiest (not cheap) solution is probably picking up a built auto tranny from Boostlogic.

don't forget a higher stall torque converter to get that power down

I would just build the Auto up if you still want a basic, drivable car. How much power are you looking to put out?

No disrespect but if you mean fastest "auto SC", the fastest auto technically is the fastest SC period which I believe runs 8's. I think that's a glide though, So good luck

I don't remember what boostlogic charges, but your best bet is to watch the classifieds on Supraforums for a used one. They come up every so often. Like mentioned before, you are going to have to spend $$$.

You could do a few mods to the trans yourself and see how it goes...

I think 500-600hp at the wheels is asking allot, even for a built trans, if your going to be beating on it daily.
