If memory serves, that kit was for a RWD only (RWD and AWD transmissions are not the same). I'd hate to see you go through all the trouble of dropping the tranny before finding out.

Nice car though. I'd love to turbo my AWD, but I just bought a house, so naturally I don't have any money, and I'm under warranty for another 2 years, so it's going to have to wait at least that long.
Yep, the TQ numbers are correct. It was dyno'ed at GRD tuning in IL after the tune. It picked up about 40 horse and 40 pd ft tq. Keep in mind that it!s got to go through the AWD tranny plus it's a rear mount setup so while it's not the most efficient for making big numbers it is great for a daily driver because it's more reliable and comes on more progressively. Once i add a boost controller and sort out the piping i'm having it retuned and i'll have updated numbers. The transgo is already in and works perfectly. If you look at Transgo's website it reflects that the kit will work with RWD and AWD.

Any idea of what the install cost is on a rear mount?

Not sure. The previous owner installed it himself. It's not to tough of an install really, except that mine is an AWD sedan and this kit wasn't really made for that set up so he had to rerun some stuff. I'm getting ready to move stuff around to make it more efficient and get it out from under the front axle. Should reduce the rubbing, .

Dirty dirty sleeper, no doubt.
Only criticism I have is that front mount; crooked intercoolers make my hairs stand up.
You did such a great job cleaning up that piping the least you could do is straighten that thing up!

oh..videosvideosvideosvideosvideos

Thanks! I'm loving the wheels too. Can't wait for winter to try them out in some snow. Gotta love a turbo and AWD, .

Good call on going to GRD! I have gotten work done there and they always do a great job!

I must have mis-read your numbers. I thought it was something like +60 HP but only +20 TQ. And good to know about the Transgo. It's on the long-term upgrade list now that I know it will work.

BTW, I love the simple "X" on the trunk.

Thanks! Highly recommend the transgo, especially if you install it yourself. Great mod for the money and it wasn't as hard as I thought.
