Its already been answered but Transgo is what I'm going with. The plan is to go FI (turbo) later this spring/early summer.

I'm def going to need one to keep up with TQ. The stock VB is good for like 330whp/TQ I believe

Even then its on borrowed time bc it wasn't designed with FI in mind.

For me, a 3.3VLSD will be ideal since the taller gear will help me stay in gear longer and will be better for building boost longer per gear.

At least that's the general consensus on the FI forums

Mike, Yea I pretty sure it's the whole pumpkin this guys pulls out of the cars. I'm going to call him tomorrow morning to see if he does the install in that price as well. I'm hoping he does because that would be awesome.

Tiguy; I phrased it wrong, but yea got my answer haha. I just want to get those shifts quicker at redline so I don't hit the rev. I have no care of staying in gear longer I just want to trick myself into thinking I'm fast lol unlike you who needs it.

Its for AT - its a valve body kit that makes shifts crisper and firmer - some dont like the term "quicker" but I'd call it it quicker.

Transgo cost $250... install ranges from $300-$800 depending on where you go... not many shops can/will do this.

*Edit - wait are you asking about the VB kit (recently discussed) or Final Drive?... FD is ring & pinion gears in the rear end - not a power mod... basically akin to smaller sprocket on a 10 speed bike...
i didnt realize they were talking about 2 different subjects (final drive and VB upgrade) thanks for the answer. thats a bout a grand total for part and labor. It better be worth it, i might look into this for a future mod next year

Yes I was. You might want to PM Bikinilust if you're interested in one. He might be able to help you out.
