Did you have anything done to your Trans? Anything to build it up?

I'm gonna' have to buy some of the upgraded components before anything, because by the time I actually have all the turbo parts, my car will probably have like 30k on it.

SoFlo had Level 10.. IPT says their Built Trans can hold a little more than 400whp, but that's costly.

ya i have leveltens... it held good at 10 lbs but i put it to 15 and it started slipping but it should not have so i just took it out and went manual.. its just sitting here lmao.. but if someone were to send this tranny back to level10 to get it corrected it would cost hell of a lot less then sending there own because it already has upgraded valve body, upgraded torque converter and new pumps and what not.

Well, I'm currently saving and spending on different turbo parts here and there, so if by any chance I have some cash in the coming months, and you decide to sell it, PM me with a price.

Two Options..
Look up either IPT or Level 10, they are the ones who would help with building it up.
You can either get an Upgraded Valve Body, High Stall Torque Converter, and Upgraded Clutch Packs, OR sending the entire Transmission to either of the two, and they will Re-Build it.

The first route can run you around $1-2k, not so bad really.. that's said to be able to hold around 310whp.
The second route, sending the trans off to be built, that can cost around $4-5k, but it can hold more than 400whp, and usually comes with longer warranty.

Yes but if stock fluid was used, if you eliminated the stock cooling all together, drove with your foot to the floor board and ran 6 PSI, of course the trans will fail.

We ship the kit with 5 PSI for a reason. We know it holds and works if you don't beat the snot out of the car, run your trans cooler AFTER the stock cooler AND run a synthetic fluid as well. Simple as that.

Heat is the #1 reason for trans failure. They heat up, cook the fluid and bye bye trans

well thats what i did, it comes with a 5 psi spring which i STILL have in my WG to this day but my boost gauge always read 6 aswell as the dyno, either way at 6 lbs if your running a full exhaust system pushing 230+ whp ur tranny will eventually die.. theres no getting away

I can't believe that.. I'm sure that if you drive normally without ******* it, it would be fine.
