i have kinda been doing a couple little mods on my car, and my friend drives a gli. he said i would prolly have to replace my tranny when i turbo because the stock tranny is rated for a low horsedpower. is this true?

 

Oh yeah. Check http://www.roadracemotorsports.com/ they have a stage 2 kit that can handle a good amount of power.

 

definatley put in a different clutch and while yur in there do the flywheel as well. i did the act mb8-xtss and the clutchmasters flywheel from rrm. ince you get it broken in its a blast!

Here's something to get you started on turbos.

im running turbo on stock internals, thats including my tranny and clutch.

I'm just daily driving it. I replaced the clutch with a OEM clutch like 5,000 miles before i did a turbo install and its runs perfect.

 

He didn't ask about the clutch. He said will the tranny handle it. You could probably double your power output and be safe (approx 200 whp). More is probably possible, I don't know.

 

oh my bad, other people were talking about replacing clutches and all that. I think if you don't rag your car out you won't need to replace the tranny. i'm not sure what im pushing cause i haven't dynoed yet but i know im hitting atleast 190 with my setup

 

Isn't the clutch part of the trans? Then yeah, the comment about upgrading the clutch is valid.

However, the trans itself probably can't handle more than 200, stretching to 250 if you are doing high rpm launches and using LSD. I'd say if you are doing alot of heavy duty racing, then you want to beef up the rest of the trans.

 

the stock manual tranny can do 300hp fine.

the auto is a different story. id say 240-250.

 

Yeah, just gotta have a good clutch in and make sure you have brake fluid or else you won't be going nowhere lol. I've seen that happen when people think their clutch is gone and goto check the brake fluid and its empty lets just say i know someone
