Default TB converter and a turbo

Ok all, I am new to the turbo stuff. I had been running my somewhat stock 4l60e with a trailblazer converter for a few years. A couple years ago I started spraying a 75 shot basically off the line thru the quarter. Now my turbo is small 60 mm so it spools very quickly. I know my tranny wont last forever but could I be blowing thru this converter on my 1-2 shift or is the tranny most likely slipping already. This has not been running very long so I have not had much opurtunity to drive it much especially thru a full on blast. I seem to have some problems when it shifts under full accel in 1-2...
Probably the tranny? Thinking T56 anyway?
Thanks
Dave

It could be either.
Keep an eye on your trans fluid. If it smells or looks burnt then theres your problem.

before the turbo I abused it quite a bit and it seemed to take it without much issue. Now It seems to be getting grumpy. I know it is a ticking time bomb just dont know for how long.
