No clue Jomao_o. The kit advertises 600 at the crank and 499.** at the wheels. Those numbers wouldn't surprise me in the least. The Beast is a MONSTER. The FWD hurts a lot from a dead stop, but 55-140+ I am unbeatable. I think that the only reason it turned out so well was because of the prep work involved. This is NOT something that you just decide to do one evening after work. I spent the last two weeks practicing on the old bumper before I dared to try it on my new one.

What have you done to the tranny to hold together under that incredible power increase?

Also, great work! I am digging the impy front with the monte chin spoiler!

Nothing major to the tranny. The turbo came with a shift kit (the most stressful part of the install). I have had NO problems with my transmission since putting the kit in, but I know that will not be the case forever. I contacted ZZPerformance on the advice of another member and I am waiting on them to e-mail me back.
