I'm not overly concerned about the engine. I am concerned about the 6AT being tolerant of repeated spikes of torque levels produced by 20psi. Or does a 20psi spike not translate into considerably more than 400lb/ft at the wheels (even for short period of time)? There's no way I would want to put that much torque into the 6AT on a regular basis, at least not without expecting it to fail.

Ordering boost gauge this afternoon if I can't find one in town to install this weekend...
