Default ch of a beating can a auto trans in sc300 take

my recent sc300 is a auto and thinking on maybe boosting it but not really trying to get more then 350/400hp. as its a daily with 107k miles and well kept. and also anyone have any luck or running a ebay turbo kit or a drift motion kit ?

You can have my auto trans as a backup lol.
It's just covered and sitting there all sad
I'm swapping my auto for an R154 and my auto is just in the way.

ive been thinking I might just buy a complete swap that is plug and play that is auto or 5spd and sell the motor and trans that is in the car . still debating though because the car is a salvage idk if I want to sink money into it if I ever have to resell buyers will not like a salvage title but the miles is what has me hooked

im thinking on doing it or just try to find a 5 speed and try to boost it but that will kind of be a ***** to do and swaping out the trans to 5 spd on a auto will cost close to or more then if I can just find a factory 5spd

I had 2 different na-t setups on my stock auto trans, held both 9 and 12 psi without issues, but it also had below 80k miles at the time.
