Ive been thinking about doing a turbo upgrade lately. I just want other peoples input in this topic.

Do you think the trans, with all its problems, could handle an upgraded turbo?

Obviously a clutch upgrade will be mandatory but what else?

 

Check out the X Dyno Results section to do some research. I'd consider an FP Green, Dom 2.0, or BBX as viable options. These all seem to perform well on the SST w/ proper tuning.

 

obviously the trans is expensive so i dont wanna mess with it and pay more in the long run

 

this has been answered alot now, you can basically hold almost up to 400 on stock clutches, its all about how they tune the tranny with the TQ that your putting down. Also driving somewhat sensibly will help prolong your vehicles tranny life as well. It's still going to be recommended to upgrade your tranny, but i would start small first, maybe RAD turbo, or spend a helluva lot more and go X, then from there go on to larger turbos, because honestly its how much your wallet can flex as opposed to can the tranny hold it.

 

yeah i know, the thing that makes me question myself is that this is my DD. If anything would go wrong I would be screwed because it gets me from point A to B.

 

this is my DD too, lol, and i have pushed it to over 300hp, and i plan on stopping at 400.

 

im at 337whp and this is my daily. Im running the dom 2 abd get on it a lot...i think you'll be ok. Im nearing 50k in milage as well

 

mine is fine besides the fact I had to replace an injector that got stuck open but it was under warranty so it was replaced for free

 

turbo upgrade is fine just when getting it tuned watch the turque. I just had my 2011 mr done by CBRD( BBX LITE!!). And I'm 370 whp & 290 TQ. No slippage !!
