so if you kept yours at still 12 psi you think youll last another year or was it crapping out also what size turbo did you use t3/t4, 60-1? garrett? cause by the look of it looks sounds like you guys had big turbo to blow in 6 months or less or you just stepped on it all day to crap soo badd....

Yea i got a built tranny and sold it to somebody on the forum. Never actually tuned it with the new tranny or anything. Manual was way better.

2 years...average boost 10psi...max boost 17psi...turbonetics kit. valve body upgrade and tranny cooler.
damage was done to transmission but it still would shift and drive normal out of boost.

I assume Chris is talking about my tC. It was still pulling strong and was a very reliable car until I did something stupid to it. The engine actually blew up and the trans was still kicking. It is still working today as far as I know, I recently traded it in on an E92 M3
EDIT: I have lots of the swap parts needed to goto manual and I have a stock valve body as well that I will get rid of cheap if you're looking for parts.
