Update on Auto Boosted Miles and Issues
Hi Everyone, I am about to go the forced induction route for my frs with the automatic transmission. I have seen old posts but wanted to get an update from everyone how the auto transmission is holding up with boost in our cars who has boosted before. I am planning on keeping it most likely 300whp or little under 300whp. It would be great if everyone could post how many boosted miles and/or if any issues you had.

With a good header and tune, 300whp is a reachable number even on 91 octane. As far as reliability goes, for my experience there haven't been any unnecessary/unexpected setbacks so far and I've been running 13k miles boosted. If you're looking for both power and reliability with a setup that still drives similarly to NA then look into this supercharger kit. Otherwise I'm sure there are others with turbo builds that can tell you their stories. Good luck! Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

@ThatAsianBradah, Thank you for that information. I had bought a turbo kit and I know I can easily make 300 whp at 10 psi. But I was thinking about running 8 or 9 psi and sacrifice a bit of power for reliability. For me I dont mind sacrificing a bit of power for more reliability. Main concern I have is the tranny lol

We just have to maintain oil/brakes/tires and the other mundane stuff with more care. Other than that, good driving! 👍 Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Almost 20k miles boosted here at 270whp and 220tq. No issues. Just make sure you change the tranny and diff fluid a bit more often and with quality fluids, not just the oem.
