Apparatus and method for controlling damper clutch of automatic transmission vehicle

The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for controlling a damper clutch of an automatic transmission vehicle. A method of controlling a damper clutch of a turbocharger mounted automatic transmission vehicle secures stable boost pressure to provide accelerating feeling is disclosed. The method may include detecting driving information from a turbocharger mounted vehicle to determine whether lock up conditions of a damper clutch are satisfied, determining an engine load by a gear shift stage and an engine speed when the lock up conditions of the damper clutch are satisfied, detecting supplied boost pressure to determine whether conditions of the engine load are satisfied, and canceling the lock up of the damper clutch for accelerating feeling when the boost pressure does not satisfy the conditions of the engine load.
