Short answer. ... No

The multimatic transmission wasn't designed to hold much more power than what the 3-stage vtec d15b outputs which is around 130hp.... adding boost increases torque significantly...so unless your goal is just a slight bump in power to match the 3-stage (if you just have a regular d15b), any extra torque above the factory output will wear out that transmission very quickly. ... so the answer is no
