6th Gen VR4 automatic and boost

thanx heaps for all your help guys, it has been quite a while since i last posted, but i did end up buyin the car....it has been pretty good and i installed a larger front mount on it as well
i have found an aussie based forum for the vr4 but i still need your expertise on some q's.
i am now in the process of upping the boost to 14psi. Some of the guys on the aussie site are sayin that the auto wont handle it and just blow on me whereas some of u guys have said that it will cope fine....bear in mind that my vr4 is the OLDER GENERATION......E39A model 6TH GENERATION
it has had a reco'd tranny when i first bought it
this is the comment....
btw here are some pics

what about leaving it auto n putting a bigger turbo in it? like would that destroy the gearbox or would i have to do sumthing to it?? n what would be a good turbo for a auto like sumthing not to big sumthing that would put out about 15~18psi n what would be an approx cost of it?

and thanx for all the info guys its a big help


ok, think of it this way, here's how long our auto e39a lasted when we upped the boost:

12psi = 3 months
14psi = 2 months
18psi = 17 days.

Each time it was a freshy rebuilt gearbox with $2k of parts thrown into it.

That was on the td04, a td05 would rip the auto apart without even batting an eyelid, keep in mind that the auto gearbox in your car is from a non-turbo galant, mitsu never strengthened it to cope, so even running factory boost, it's right on the edge."""
