and yes u would normally use a higher octane gasoline to prevent cursing and crying.
yes u can turbo a automatic- not as much power but it is smoother
6-8 psi is wut everyone normally runs on a stock motor
around 160-180hp is the normal , unless u are jesus, and can afford a AEM
www.dezod.com- is the best kit in most peoples opinion to buy, its sexy, and made of HIGH quality components but u need a bankroll like Bill Gates to get one.
www.turbokits.com- Sells a kit by TSI which is cheaper-
www.prostreetonline.com sells them ALOT-(TSI)-cheaper i may be running this if i cant get the kit i want.
and yes turbos are sexy.
Hope this helps yah, if u need anymore info Try searching for Turbo FAQ.
peace
