Since the automatic that comes with the 180 HP Turbo is weaker, you may want to also put 2-3K in the bank for tranny replacement when it blows. Maybe an engineer type will give us the maximum torque input that tranny is designed for to help you in your decision...or you could be the guinea-pig and let us all know how much you were into the throttle when it came apart. We've already had a couple of broken GT's due to failed converters and axles with HP upgrades...how many more will we now receive when owners try hopping-up the "value" version?
