Automatic turbo pro's and con's

What would be the pro's and con's of an automatic turbo? I heard that with an auto your car would always be boosting since the throttle plate would always be open...is this tru ? And what about other things like upgraded torque converters, etc? Sorry so many questions, im a noob i know.

Re: Automatic turbo pro's and con's

Honda automatic transmissions don't take kindly to boost and there's not really enough aftermarket support for torque converters that would handle boost reliably. Your best bet is to make a conversion to a manual transmission - it'll hold up to boost a lot more reliably.
