I think I hit 25 in first gear, but the rest of the gears are around 27psi.

wow ! and the transmission can hold launches with 25psi in first gear ?
I have 26-27psi in 5th gear and 24psi in 4th, lower gears are under 20psi.

Do you have a 3 port solenoid or boost controller?

Stock setup with GST boost pill upgrade. Umm, I don't launch at 25psi. I build like 3-5psi with the launch control. Thats plenty on the stock turbo.

You have 3-5psi in launch RPM, but when you lift the clutch in less than 1 second you have a lot off boost which makes an extreme stress on transmission

I know.


I love how torquie this car feels for a 2.0L turbo 4 cylinder.


The stress is more on the clutch until you start making big big power. I doubt the stock turbo can stress the tranny even when maxed out. Of course, this is with proper driving and operation.



I'll stress it out some more as soon as Tephra can give us an NLTS patch.

pretty pretty please!
