Wow your story is almost the same as mine........Either boost the AT civic or buy a DSM(DSM's rool btw
) I decided to stick with the Honda and hopefully will be swapping the trans sometime this year(once my funds get a lil better) and then getting the greddy kit. If I find a good deal on the turbo kit before I swap the trans I may put it on just to see how much the trans will take.
But anyways..... From what I have heard eventually you will have to replace the stock torque converter, www.levelten.com check them out for performance torque converters. I've read about some guys runing the greddy kits for quite a while on their AT's and having no problems but, eventually they had to replace their torque converters. If you have more quetions look for Mokuboy on the board......He is very knowledgeable on automatic transmission's. I also know of a good board for turbo d-seires motors with a lot of good info but I'm pretty sure I can't post the address on SHO(e-mail me if you need the address) Hope this helped!
