Default How do 4l60E's hold up under boost?

I have been considering about going turbo in the near future. I just want to know how stock 4L60E's hold up with the extra power?

I have been thinking about either going turbo or just a mild h/c package for now and maybe turbo later.

I have been reading a lot of turbo threads and people say that they always spend a lot more on their setups than they planned. If I went turbo I am pretty sure that my tranny would be the first die. Would I still have to build my tranny for a mild NA setup and stall.
