all kinds of boosted automatics on here and many have been running 6-8psi for years without issue, you just have to prep the trans and upgrade some parts.

Good luck for your 1.6T setup! I love mine, it's a small and tough engine so it responds quickly and is really fun to drive... while lapping!

What exhaust manifold are you gonna get for boostin your 1.6 ?

If you refer to my turbo manifold I brought one from OBX from a protege 5 accidentaly and I am paying someone to match the pattern to my engine

I didn't even think about transmissions not being strong enough, I was just thinking automatics are boring lol, but this is a good point.

Not trying to hate on the build or anything, was just curious. Gotta work with what you got. Can't wait to see this thing get some more progress!

I hope to see another 1.6T because for now the only ones I know is mine, a friend of mine that lives 10 minutes from me and another guy that lives about 25 minutes from me... so for now I don't know any 1.6T setup in USA...
