As Sam said earlier, a tune and a cooler does work well enough. The Valve Body Upgrade and a cooler works better. A built transmission is not necessary at these levels so long as you recognize the limitations of the higher gears. While the Valve Body Upgrade will certainly help in the higher gears, it is just a good idea to play it safe on the stock clutch packs.

Also, if you have access to a transmission shop that you feel is competent enough to take your transmission apart and put it back together properly, we have the parts to build the transmission on our website as well. We should have master overhaul kits on there soon as well. So, basically, if you want all the parts to build a Stage 4 transmission, but don't want us to actually build it for you, then that option will be available. |

It would be awesome if this thread got back to the turbo kit results and a new thread regarding tranny issues / builds was started. I want to know more about the new TT!

Dear GTM, Please, pretty please, fab up some exhaust manifolds that would allow the 16g turbo kit from needing drilling/tapping, I want this kit so bad but am not willing to alter/drill into the block.

Mike, would it be best to have someone send you the car to work on both the TT Install and tranny upgrade at the same time... Or bring it in for the tranny work first, and then at a later date do the TT install? I know logically which one sounds better as a given, but say finances didn't permit both, you would opt for the tranny work prior to the TT work correct?

Just got my estimate and now it's time to do some serious thinking and saving lol I really would love to have Gtm install mine but shipping the car to and from Cali seems like a bit much....unless I wait til winter when I park my car lol
Also I'd like to thank mike at Gtm for the offer of a quote and quick response afterwards. Kudos for the great customer service to mike and all the guys at Gtm.

That would prolly be the best idea, when you'll most likely not even be driving it anyways.

Agreed but shipping my car from PA to Cali and back is probably like $2500

Either that or add up what the cost of gas/hotels would be to get there and a plane ticket back x 2 of course... Which is cheaper?
