It's not the turbo itself that's the problem, but the boost in engine output that the transmission might not be designed to handle.

YOU WROTE: "I understand that it is inadvisable to put a turbocharger on a car with automatic transmission"

and I provided proof that even the factories add them, so your wrong.

I didn't say that automatic cars were never shipped with turbos, I said that throwing one into a car with an automatic not intended to handle the extra/different power levels wasn't recommended. If the Yaris' transmission is built to handle more horsepower than the engine by itself then I suppose one can be thrown in without any problem.

Of course, I don't own a PT Cruiser. I own a Yaris. Does it stand to reason that what worked for the PT would work for the Yaris?
