Just slap that bitch on there and don't run crazy high boost! I ran auto with my JRSC for years without any problems before going 5-speed.

you should get a stronger torque converter
also, how many miles are on it?
if its too high, you should rethink turboing it, unless youre willing to spend loads of money rebuilding the engine.

You should really think about how your are going to tune and. And when you want the shift point to come in. You dont want to start to build boosted and then hey look what do you know you shifted.

With auto you will lose less boost between shifts.

I get the feeling you don't really understand the dynamics of a turbo.

Your tranny will eat itself pretty quickly if you try for more than 8 psi. Hell Honda autos eat themselves in stock form bad enough as it is.
