Default Turboing a 98 4dr accord...

I have a 98 Accord LX. I'm going to turbo it in a week or two. So, far I've order the Drag Stage 4 turbo kit with Blitz oil, fuel, EGT gauges and turbo timer with built in boost gauge. It's a automatic and yes I know it's still going to be slow but, it's going to be quicker then what it is now at least. The thing is that it's automatic and I was wonder are there any companies out there that make parts to build up my tranny to hold up to the turbo set up? I'm not trying to go crazy and boost over 10psi. However, I want to make sure that my tranny doesn't give out on me you know. And I also want to know is there anything else I need to buy to make sure everything runs right once I install the turbo kit? So, anyone out there have something helpfull to tell me I'll be very greatfull.

Level 10 makes tranny parts for our 6gens. I have an 01 auto turbo and it's great. Just don't launch off the line too often and take it easy an the tranny. Learn how to let off the gas right before the shift and gas it again when it's back in gear. That and a tranny cooler will save the life of your tranny.

Thanks guys for your reply and advice. Oh yeah, I have the 2.3vtec motor in my car. Are there any parts out there that I can use to build it up like rods, pistons and whatever else. And do you think it's worth getting a AEM cam gear for my car also.

it would be cheaper to do a 5sp swap than build the auto tranny.

Well, actually it'll cost more to do the 5sp swap and then build that tranny then to just build the automatic tranny. I do have a limited amount of funds you know. And if I wanted a manual car I would buy me something more sporty. Kind of senseless in a four door you know.
