yes... you can, but you should find out what is more convenient for your car a Supercharger or a Turbo (you can have both, but the difference is really insignificant)

What kind of car do you have... that way we can tell you what is better... and how much money would you be willing to spend on this ?

can you supercharge a automatic car

yeah, installing forced aspiration unit on an engine doesnt affect the transmission in any direct way

if you dont have enough room in the engine bay then thats a different story

one thing you should consider before isntalling either a turbo or S/C is what type of driving you plan to do mostly

if you just want a bit more power from your daily commute a S/C is the less costly option since you won't need significant power increase and S/C don't suffer from turbo lag

if you plan on high horsepower application then you prolly should get a turbo since generally turbo's give more high end power
