i want the turbo,but it seems like the only thing to do is take a auto tranny and build it to hold the power

All you would need to do is adust the shifts to be firmer and put heavier clutch plates or bands in it. Wouldn't be that hard except finding the ports ot widen or the valves to change.

Are you positive this would handle the power of say a 3S-GTE engine , if done on the auto tranny that comes with the 5SFE ? how much would a job like this cost ?

Well you have to find clutch plates that fit and are heavier and info or a tranns guide to figure out the ports in the valve body of the trans to modify it. I don't know what it would cost but you could try talking to companies that make kits for the bigger popular trans and see what they say. I know the Chevy 700R4/ 4L60E are popular ones. Basicaly you can build an automatic that can handle the same power as a manual and it will be half the weight.
