Transmission if going supercharger

Hello,

the information I request is probably around already but it's always a bit difficult to search for. Also, the level of activity isn't very intensive on the forum, so I thought you might not mind that I ask questions that could be answered by hours of searching by myself.

An axe has come up locally and it's 99% likely a VTD. The price seems right according to the condition as far as I can judge and the car has been registered for 10+ years (it's a 1997) which means I can increase effect without paying extra!

I see that quite a few people have gone down supercharger lane, so I assume there's enough info around for a good tuner to help me out with that kind of project. The question is: How much power can the 4EAT safely handle? The seller has stated that the unit got overhauled very recently. Not sure yet if it broke down or just needed a good pounding.

Did anyone ever successfully go turbo and live to tell about it?

Is there a proper how-to on supercharger? I can't recall seeing one in the How-To section.

Thanks!
