Default how long will it last??

Ok so i have a friend who is wanting to boost his civic dx really bad..
but the thing is is that he's worried because he wants to go turbo but his car is an automatic...

Is there any actions he could take to have his tranny last for awhile??

Hes doing a homemade setup

how much does that usually run..
ive never had or dealt with an automatic so i dont know how well it would hold up under boost.
Im hoping it dont get too heated up under pressure and fail

**** like 3000 probably. just leave it, its the same as a manual tranny as long as he doesnt step on the brakes and gas at the same time and make it spool up for like 30 mins
