    holy ****, this is one huge question. First lets ask why the hell you want to turbo an automatic. Unless you have a all out drag car it would be so much funner in a manual.
    Second this is no cheap thing to do unless you want to completely ruin your can you should do this the right way which would at least cost $5000 minimum. And thats cutting corners.
    A good thing to do before starting this project is a load of research and also one thing that answered a million questions was the Honda turbo CD you can buy on eBay for like ten bucks.
    And the answer for your question is, Turbo, inercooler, piping, bigger injectors, oil lines to and from turbo, blow off valve, new fuel pump, bigger fuel rail, high flow fuel filter, low compression pistons (9.1), turbo cams, dual valve springs, and make sure, make sure you put a wide band O.2. sensor in with a air/fuel ratio gauge. That is important.

    Im not going to try and sound like an ****** here but your transmission wont handle any boost above 5 psi. Automatic honda transmissions do not hold up well at all with boost. So with that said do yourself a favor and buy a 5 speed car, trust me.

    wow thats sexy when a girl answer a question like that lol. Ok yes you can run turbo in an auto but it isnt going be as fast as you want you might notice a difference a little bit. Ok you need a turbo perfer a Garrett GT28 small spools up fast ok then you need a turbo manifold down pipe waste gate and inteercooler charge piping bov misc rubber garments and claps, larger injectors and ecu reflash and or chip. Cost3500-5000depending on parts and and labor. It just isnt going to be worth your time and effort. You should get a intake and exhaust and header and spray a dry shot of ZEX 50shot. Safe and wont cost as much as a turbo.

    The turbo would be a waste in an automatic. turbos work on high RPM since the tranny shifts for you all you would have is a $4,000 under the hood ornament. If you really want power look into a supercharger, they work ALOT better with automatics as they are belt driven and while they wont give as much power as a turbo, you will have it at all times since they boost the whole time as your car is running. Basically to get the performance from a turbo in an automatic you will have to mash the gas EVERY time you take off, and even then when the passing gears cuts off you will lose your boost.
