Turbo chargers work better with automatic transmission-equipped cars because you don't lift off the throttle to shift gears ,so the boost remains constant.

If im not mistaken, the turbo does not bolt to the tranny.. =)
anyways, the 2.2L ecotec, im guessing this is on a cavalier, paired up with an automatic tranny is definitely a hershey kiss, compared to the whole bar. If you did want to drop a whole bunch of money into that setup up to make it quick, I would suggest on starting with a better engine such as the 2.4 L that came out in the z24 edition cavy's then building onto that. The ecotec was definitely built for gas mileage not street racing. Built if your ultimate dream is to have a ecoturbo'd 2.2L then you will need to do alot of work to the upper end, if i remember correctly the stock specs on that engine can handle 5-6 psi MAX. Then you would also need to adjust your fuel injection, configure your exhaust and intake systems, and beef up your tranny. Cavy's are nice but with what your working with, im not sure if its worth it. But life's a garden dig it.
O yea, you might have trouble fitting that turbo on an auto. tranny =)

Turbos do not fit on transmissions. They fit on the engine. you can get an aftermarket turbo for anything now days. you just need to have the pocket book to fit the price tag. I would do alot of research before tossing a turbo on the 2.2 motor. cars that have turbos from the factory have different head bolts and alot of the time different heads all together for the turbos. You put too much pressure in to the engine and you can blow the head right of the motor. (seen it happen.) so do as much research as you can and find out what other modifications need to be done to the motor before you rush out and pick up a turbo for it.

No, you have to fit it on the engine. LOL
The turbo doesn't care what kind of transmission you have, just be sure the transmission can handle the extra power. If you have a computer controlled transmission then the new chip should have the programming in it to handle the transmission.

The transmission has nothing to do with turbocharging an engine. It could certainly be done. The main problem you might find is that after turbocharging, you'd have a little too much power for the stock automatic to take, and it might be a little hard on it.

Like many of the answers above, it does not bolt to the trans, it bolts to the engine. You need a turbo block to bolt it to, standerd blocks arn't drilled and tapped for the mounting. But you can take it to a machine shop and have them drill and tap it. I had to do it once because i couldnt find a used 2.2 turbo.
