It all depends on how much torque you are making and how quickly it comes on. Most big turbo's are better on the tip tranny than a K04. This is because the K04 makes so much torque right at the beginning of the powerband that it can cause problems while the big turbos make a lot of torque but it comes on smoothly throughout the powerband so it is in fact safer for the tranny.

t3/t4 would prolly be the best bet for a tip tranny....the power accumulates pretty gradually....theres no big torque boom with the journal bearing turbos....plus, you can make crazy power in the top end...

Wow! The car looks awesome. I'm thinking about going to the elims eventually. How much did the turbo upgrade cost (turbo kit, fuel injectors, fuel pump, FMIC, etc)??? Any issues at all with the transmission? Did the mani make a big difference?
Nice camera too...the fish eye shot is cool. What kind?
Sorry for so many questions.
