Turbo will make your automatic car faster not as fast as a manual with turbo but still faster. If your going to run a kit like Greddy and keep the boost below 8psi and have a decent intercooler then you will not have to rebuild your engine which is only necessary when you start messing with high psi(10-12 and up). But the things you would do is replace the Pistons, rods, and sleeves with stronger ones. Which is very expensive, the parts alone will run something like $1200 if not a little more. Just to buy new sleeves and have them installed(not something most people can do themselves) is going to cost like $800-$1000. Best bet is to keep the boost down, and the air/fuel ratio on the rich side of the meter. Or of course an engine swap, which will give you the same if not a bigger increase in HP.
