Default Singel Turbo w/Auto Transmission

OK, I have a 2005 350Z silver, with an automatic transmission. Yeh I know a 6 speed is more macho, but I drive this car everyday and in the Northern Virginia suburbs of Washington DC, with some of the worst traffic amaginable the automatic is a must.
I've installed InJen Cat-back exhaust and intake, along with the Skunk2 plenum spacer and still feel the need for more power. I have also installed new aluminum wheels and wider tires. I've be considering changing the final drive and that would give me more power to wheels (faster), but it would probably kill gas mileage. I've also been considering installing the Turbonetics single ceramic turbo kit and I'm looking for some guidance.
Footnote: With the automatic you cannot burn rubber out of the hole, with or without Traction Control System turned off. You can get the wheels to break loose accelerating through a tight turn, but that isn't helpful unless you're racing (drifting).
Has anyone out there in My350Z land done a similar setup?

Actually quite a few people have. Jimlquest was the most recent. Turbonetics has a kit specifically designed for the 5AT kit that makes VERY good numbers. You could also PM blackend as he recently finished his 5AT install as well.

Here's my thread on my TN 5AT w/ cat install. I'm very satisfied with the out of the box completeness of the kit. You don't really need anything else to buy except gauges & start enjoying the adrenaline rush of a turbo!!! Blackend has an awesome set up as well which more agressive than mine.
