a turbo will suit your car great. you would need to make sure its kept cool, change the fluid more often, and expect a possibly shorter lifespan

I'm running turbo with a 5 speed. The auto's aren't as bullet proof as the 5 speed, but you can turbo them without a problem. You will need a transmission cooler and should change the fluid much more regularly like lightshow said. And only use the honda stuff!

Enjoy having the turbo spinning as you shift gears. That's the cool part of a turbo auto.

An auto is more of a sleeper car just because you dont hear the bov until you take your foot off the gas. But an oil cooler is a must, but if you can manage to find a larger radiator that is made for a 98 - 02 accord you will be good as gold cause your you will have a cooler running car all around

there are 2 or 3 different kits, but they all run around 3000, your only option would be piecing together a kit which has been listed a few times already through the threads, its easy enough to do seeing as most kits dont have any form of ecu upgrade or piggy back system
