Turbo'd automatic

Just checking to see who out there has put a turbo on a automatic. Biggest question is how the trans has held up or did it grenade? I found the kit that I am going to install and will probably run 15-18 pounds of boost. Any info will be appreciated and thanks ahead of time. BTW I have a 93 Coupe with a 99 Y8 with the auto.

Running 15-18 pounds of boost is pushing the limits of a stock engine, never mind an auto trans.

They have a kit that will hold up to the added boost and it's not to expensive. When it comes to the block I am going to build it to handle the turbo. I just didnt know if anyone has boosted an auto, because almost everyone runs away from an auto. Good for me because it makes used transmissions pretty cheap. lol Thanks for the link because i would have never thought TCI would have messed with a Honda.
