i've done the tranny swap, and it's not all that hard. you just need time. i did it for just over 2 grand, but then i bought a bbtb as part of that and almost all new parts. you can do it for a grand. i wouldn't pay a shop for this. the type of shop i would trust with this would charge way too much. if you want something done right, do it yourself. buy a shop manual and get a buddy with air tools.
you can turbo an auto tranny. from what i've read, the best thing you can do for it is get a tranny cooler, as heat is the #1 cause of wear and failure. level10 will build the torque coverter and tranny to handle 350hp. i think that costs like 2 grand, but i could be wrong. both of these topics were covered extensively at the old hyundaiaftermarket.com. i'm sure hyundaiperformance has this covered a lot too.
