new turbo, new transmission?
hey,
i was wondering if i get a better turbo like the GT2X eliminator or the K04, and i have a 99 1.8T, do i need to get a better tranny or a new one?
will the 1.8 trany hold up to 350 hp? what will it be able withstand?
thanks a lot

RE: new turbo, new transmission?
lol, I didnt even notice he had a TIP.
Good call.
You'll be fine, Bro. Youve got a torque converter, and numerous clutch packs to make the power transfer buttery smooth. Much less invasive (and destructive) then a manual at elevated power levels. You will be increasing wear and tear and narrowing service intervals, which are more expensive on a auto, but thats inevitable no matter what kind of tranny you have. Personally I'd be more worried about your CV joints.
350bhp should pose no big threat, have fun and good luck.
