depends on what gearbox ur referring to...
for example:
perdana v6 auto gearbox: no boost also will kong easily
supra 2jz TT gearbox: 400whp also no sweat

i've personally driven:
airtrek turbo TD05 1.5bar: gearbox still running strong after months of serious whackings. they seem to last pretty well.
kancil L5 auto 0.8bar: also whacked without compassion at all for years. so far so good...

Thx bro for your feedback
I had just edited some post
I'm more curious to know the limitation for Bot On Turbo ride
Wouldnt want break my gearbox without doing much survey
 
it's not the boost that kills d gb.. it's the torque... the increase of torque vs boost might not be on equal... for supras, anything beyond 450 ... d torque converter needs to be upgraded.. else... slippage..
 
To fully enjoy the thrill of turbo engine car and harness the full potential of turbo engine, manual transmission is the best.

Power will be lost in the drivetrain as auto fluid in the tranny will dampen the torque somewhat.

4G92 SOHC Proton Auto box will die very prematurely when the engine boosted.
 
agreed.
its not the boost kill. just like bot, alot of plp keep on asking wats the max boost can it withstand. try use kancil oem turbo boost 1 bar and try use td05-16g boost 1 bar and u will know wat im talking about.

same goes for your question.
 
u can always start from low boost. 0.4Bar, thn drive for a period, until u feel safe to go slightly higher.
