Default Boosting an automatic

Hey guys, For my 2003 Ex I was thinking about get a turbo kit, or putting together my own. Not for racing, just for some extra Zip. I was wondering if it was even worth it on an automatic Trans. Would the Trans go bad a lot faster? and will it just eat up any extra HP i try to get out of my motor. I'm not looking to push anything over 200 from the crank. I just want to have a faster car, on those days you just feel like pulling out of those tight corners a little faster then you should.

You'll be fine. It will add stress to the tranny but you can definitely do it. There's a couple people floating around here with boosted autos.

You don't want to push over 200 on stock rods anyway.

a heavy duty transmission cooler would be good insurance.

Everyone keeps saying fuel manigment. By this I assume, you guys mean. Bigger Injectors, and a fuel pressure regulator. Maybe a higher flow fuel pump as well.

Is there a lot of tunning required when you upgrade your fuel injectors?
