The number one cause of blown transmissions is infact the wastegate. You will most likely be alright, the one thing I learned quickly is DO NOT BOOST IN 4th GEAR!!! I cannot stress this enough...the overdrive in these transmissions are NOT built to handle the stress of boost. So when you're getting on it on the freeway down shift into 3rd then get on it and don't continue into 4th gear in full boost. My car made 228whp and 293ft.lbs torque when my trans went out at 22K miles. 2300 bucks later for a built tranny and I'm making close to 400whp and no problems YET lol
