What does this question have to do with your car being an automatic? There are plenty of 1ZZ cars with turbos, its not anything new.

wrong, it will last just fine at 250HP as long as its treated well. abusing it will shorten life, turbo or no turbo

Thank you guys very much! Thats what i wanted to know I appreciate that. Some people have been telling me that all the heat that the turbo and the block creating together will melt my block and what i said i doubt the block will reach up to 5000 degrees lol thanks agian.

You should be alright as long as u keep it at like 5-7psi. I have an auto GTS and i know when i got the turbo put in I was told that the tranny will hold just fine, but we do have two different trannys and i think i remember MWR saying that the GT is smaller? But with some low boost you shouldnt have a problem i run around at 7psi all day and have no issues what so ever. And if you do end up needing a new tranny I got a qoute for a used auto tranny to my door with 50,000 miles on it for $950.00....not too bad at all.

No issues, just keep the HP under 250 and don't abuse her. Many of our customers are running around with AUTOs and our kit! Now is a great time to jump with the sale we have now!
