Why would a Turbo'd AT be a waste anyway, kuya?  Could you shed some more light on it?  I've got the unfortunate auto tranny as well, and I thought about turbo but i'm going to source the tranny parts from tap recycling.    I guess you'd never miss a shift but you really wouldn't be exploiting the full potential of the turbo?

An AT with a turbo is a waste in the sense that it isn't as fun to drive. If it sounded like I was making a claim that a MT was better than an AT with turbo, it's not. AT's are just as good since the shift points can be adjusted, but it's nice having direct control over when to/not to shift.

If we are talking in terms of drag racing, an AT is actually better than MT. However, if we are talking in terms of autocross, having more (real-time) control with shifting via a MT would be more beneficial. But overall, MT and AT turbo's are (for the most part) equally good. MT's are just more fun and you won't get people breathing down your neck as to why you have an AT.
