Default turbo on Automatic?

I'm geting ready to custom turbo charge my 98 honda civic LX. Thing is, its automatic. Is anything I should know of before I install it? I'm running a TDO5H-14b. On mostly stock motor. maybe 5-6lbs of boost.

Another question? If your internal wastegate actuator lets off around 8 PSI for example and u get a boost controller to tune it down or up. Does the boost controller pretty much let u decided how much boost u run or does it to certain point.??? how low or high could i go?

If your wastegate is an 8 psi wastegate, 8 psi is as low as you can go. You can turn it up from there, but not down.

Get a transmission cooler ASAP.

I had to, he gave me the "thumbs down" for some reason with "THANKS" for a reply. So I gave him a "thumbs up" with a "YOUR WELCOME". :P
