1st gen turbo swap

Hi , I’m planning to swap the SOCH engine from my protégé (B8ME) to a 1.8L turbo engine (BPZET), I know that this is a pretty straightforward swap, my concern has to do with the tranny, I have an automatic transmission and I was wondering if it’s strong enough to handle the torque and HP from the turbo engine.
Any info will be appreciated
Thanks
Jack :FU2:

Get the DOHC tranny, clutch and fly wheel. Your auto tranny will not be a very good idea.

The AWD tranny is weaker than the DOHC tranny, IIRC. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
