First of all, can i get 250-275 whp with a 14b turbo??
Second, will my transmission hold this kind of power with a TQ, tranny cooler and buletproofed??
I'm pretty sure about the 14b putting down that power but I'm not positive about the tranny holding up fine. I have been reading that level ten kits are not all that great.
I would like to hear some opinions about this. Thanks in advance!

if u get all that stuff your tranny should be able to handle 300 hp reliably..maybe 350

as for the 14b, you can get that much power from it...but it would be harder than just using a 16g. [/i]

pulling that much power from a 14b turbine is really not that hard. Getting the power to the ground with an auto tranny is.. I blew my auto tranny with an 18g, running 12psi with my tranny bulletproofed, cooler, and with a bigger TC... One thing you will want to watch will be tranny temps at WOT, tranny slippage which will be prevelant after 10k good turbo miles, and what kind of fluid you use, and how often you change it..

with 275 WHP it is. You could custim build your own 16g for cheap though

use a 14b exhuast housing and a 16g compressor and cartridge, that would be a cheap way. 14b and 16g have same exhuast housings, 6cm or 7cm i forget
