Question for boosted 2.4 autos

So I have been reading up on the 2.4 that are boosted and I know I can put a turbo or a supercharger on the car with little issues. I know the transmission on the autos handle 230 torque or something like that but if i wanna get 300 hp outta my 2.4 on a turbo set up what can i do to beef up the trans. I looked around and found these guys (www.importperformancetrans.com) they have a performance trans that i believe fits but at $3000+ there must be a cheaper way of getting 300hp with a trans that wont die after 5000km or less.

I'm thinking about getting the rebuild kit from them. Possibly the torque converter as well. I've been driving around for about a year supercharged with numerous track nights

My transmission lasted 7 months, 2 AutoX's, and 5k miles of mostly highway driving before going Emo on me. Apparently, I'm either the hardest on my transmission or am unlucky enough to have had a bad tranny to begin with.
