So would you say that with the shift kit it would be fine?

It's evidently recommended by both ATS and Banks. But with or without it, I can't ever remember anyone on here over the years blaming a E4OD trans failure on their turbo kit. I just pulled out my old piles of ATS information, reviews, etc. Here's a quote from an ATS newsletter about the trans: "As this transmission is electrically managed, turbocharging the engine encourages a change in the micro processor. Ford's awareness of that need and discussion with ATS's staff resulted in the automaker's new development through it's S.V.O. (Special Vehicle Options Dept). ATS has included the new micro processor for the E4OD in it's 6.9/7.3 Ford diesel turbocharging kits when used on vehicles equipped with this automatic transmission." I'm not an auto trans guy, so I don't know what the processor change does exactly. The guy in the know would be Mark Kovalsky. He's a (retired, I think) FoMoCo trans factory guy and he knows his stuff. He's on here a lot, maybe you could PM him if he doesn't see this thread.
