Default Cheap turbo for my automatic...

I have a 97 Civic EX auto. I figure the auto cant take much torque so I figure Ill have to limit boost to about 6 or 8 pounds. I dont want to spend $3500 on a turbo kit just to run 6# of boost. Anybody know of a kit for about $2000? Also can the Greddy kit for 92-95 Civic ($1500) be modified to fit a 97 Civic?

But can the Greddy kit be used on a 97 Civic? The applications are listed as 92-95 Civic and 99-00 Si.

Could anybody else verify that the Greddy turbo kit for 92-95 Civics will work on an 97 Civic EX?

it's the heat generated from the extra HP/TQ that causes transmission failures. You can run a tranny cooler to help out dissapating the heat.
