STS Turbo kit...

[Ldub]

My thoughts are why isn't anyone ever interested in finding(and installing) a tranny to be able to fully utilize a T/C or S/C to their full potential? We always seem to just settle for making mediocre horsepower gains because our trans always chokes out on us. Maybe once we had that, a T/C or S/C that threw down some serious numbers would be more appealing to everyone.

I think part of it has to do with the stock tranny, the ecu.. the lack of ability to reprogram. the $$$$.. the way the price of theze vehicles have dropped in the last year.. and all the people that talk about doing things and then stop.

Actually an intercooler after the turbo increases lag time. Bigger the IC, the more time it takes to pressurize the intake.

I would suggest a modest water/methanol injection system (squirts into the intake to counter some of the turbo pressure heat) instead of an IC and keep the turbo at or below the (proven) supercharger boost levels.

It is real easy to kill a motor or tranny with a large turbo.

Are ARP engine stud kits, heavy duty head gaskets, etc. bigger intakes available?

Cheers,
