but its alot cheaper to replace a clutch in a stick, than to rebuild all the clutch packs and TC in an automagic tranny.

yeah im wondering the same thing, since im also contemplating on a turbo setup for my 6th gen accord with auto tranny. I was planning to run 0.5 bar(7.25 psi) or 0.4 bar(5.8 psi) at the max while running 0.3 bar(4.35 psi) daily driven. I'll be running 4.35 psi daily driven and either 5.8 psi or 7.25 psi at the track or when I feel the need

Will my tranny last a good while if I do that? Is 4.35 psi considered "low" boost for the accord auto tranny?

and btw 96JdmAccord, where the hell u buy all ur turbo parts from and have a complete setup for only $600?! Are u doing a junkyard setup? Cuz when I added up the cost of everything I'll need, it came up to around $1500-$2000 . What turbo manifold are u getting?

Well it was a kit I found on ebay that was in good conditition. It was a rebuilt T3/T4 turbo polished with a DSM intercooler, DSM BOV, that was going for 200 but got up to 400 at the end.

The other auction was a HKS manifold with old school HKS wastegate. That was going for 200 at the end.

Thats 600. Shouldent be that much for custom piping and having a custom downpipe made. So a little more but I would do all the work myself.

But they are done. They are not up anymore and I dident buy them.

actually the manifold and downpipe is the part that costs the most. w/ custom fabricated manifold you better make sure it was fabricated by a well known shop, custom manifolds tend to have bad welds and crack.
