do you have an auto? if so then a tranny cooler is all you need for up to 8 psi if you want to run more then look at levelten.com

I just got boosted a couple of weeks ago. I'm running 8lbs and I can feel the tranny having problems with it. I usually try to let of the gas a little to get out of boost dure gear changes. Hope the tranny holds up until I can save enough to get some tranny work.

yeap its slipping I bet . Atleast thats what mine did and it will be the first and third disc once your tranny gets opened. I'll give a good review once mine is out of the shop. They are doing some other stuff besides the tranny right now too such as CV axles and replaceing bushings etc

LSD, there isn't one made specifically for our car that is a true LSD. For big power, a Phantom Grip one will not make it, but therea re rumors that a Quaife LSd for a 6thgen will work in our cars.

My Intake sits on top of my clutch slave cylinder, due to where the turbo sits. It broke on me about a month ago, and haven gotten it fixed yet. I was waiting a few weeks on my clutch though, and didnt drive it during that time. I am finishing it all up tonight. I just need to put my axles on, and find a pic of an engine bay to see where this little bracket goes. My engine has been running nicely though, and holds up well to 10psi (which I wouldnt recommend on a stock motor)
