With an auto youll be happy with a JRSC. Relatively, lots of torque, well suited to an auto tranny.
But some automatic transmission turbo cars do well also, in the case of the Pontiac Solstice GXP. The auto trannied car is actually a couple tenths quicker to 60, and through the quarter, due to the automatic transmission keeping the engine loaded in between shifts; whereas the manual tranny unloads the engine every time the driver clutches to shift. Loaded engine=spooled turbo. Dunno how common this is because usually an automatic transmission will sap power from the engine due to the power it takes to shift.
Another reason is that a supercharger(most commonly for hondas) will be belt driven. Meaning it will be making boost not far off idle so you can have boost down low. A turbocharger would need you to get the engine revving to get a good launch, something you cant really do in an auto.
But i could be 100% wrong in all of this, now that i think about the concept of brake torqueing(and making the connection between that and the whole loaded engine concept i brought up)
Someone else(like mteg) can help you better.

I would do a tranny swap if I decided to keep the B18B1. Then I'd go turbo. If I didn't want to keep the B1, I'd just swap to a K-series. But if you're on a budget, a B18C1 would be decent. A B1 with a JRSC will only get you up to around 140whp. A bit disappointing if you ask me. The money to power ratio isn't good enough for me.

Why do you want to keep it auto? Learn how to drive stick. It's easy.

Ok. Well I don't know if you can reach 300whp with a B1 with a turbo. You're gonna be spending a shit load of money. I can tell you that much.
I assume you like to go fast in straight lines.

or win the lottery,..Sadly if you want that kind of power out of an auto honda,its gonna cost you an arm and a leg to be 'safe' or in any way reliable. Unfortunately due to nobody really doing it,there isn't alot of support so that will majorly drive up the price for the few parts,and companys that you could use,...
