Turbo

So I have thought about this for a while now and since I have done this before to a miata I was thinking I might be able to do this to a tl, I am aware they are 2 different cars. I would probably go low boost around 5-8psi but I have some concerns like will the J32A1 be able to handle even that much boost and most especially will the auto trans be able to handle that much boost. I was considering the xspower turbo kit http://www.xs-power.com/acura-honda-turbokits-16.htm and i think with some serious effort I could make it work well I'm just worried that for 500 bucks I might be spending too little to make a driveable turbo tl plus Idk if the ecu would even allow me to do it. So how would like to enlighten me because I have alot of learning to do.

A few have done it. Its nothing to be discouraged about. BUT if you want it done right dont go CHEAP like that kit. Make your own.
