Default Turbo Automatic

Hows does turbo hold up on an automatic car. My friend has an auto RSX and he knows someone with a brand new 70 trim turbo kit for $1200. His RSX is automatic though. I know it can be done but how well will the tranny hold. We jsut flushed it out about a month ago and the car has like 90k miles. Is it even worth it, putting it on the car that is?

The turbo kit is probably garbage, does it even use a name brand turbo?

Isn't the problem also there is no kpro for the base auto? I could be wrong.

Yeah, I already told him not to do it to begin with because it's an auto and it's a no name turbo kit. I was just curious if there was anyone here that has done it or had info. I always wondered about aftermarket kits on auto cars.
