Strengthening an auto
When you turbo a 5 speed you pretty much just have to put in a better clutch but what can you do to an auto tranny when you go turbo? From what I hear and have read, our auto trannies are pretty weak and break easily when alot of power is added to them. I dont feel like doing a swap so what can I do to help make the auto stronger.

Level 10 may still be willing to talk to you, but they were the only company in the USA I ever heard of even trying to care about Hyundai automatics and that was a while back.

Depends on the budget, and how far you want to go. It can be as simple as a torque convertor, it can be as complex as addressing heat-related issues with an independent pump, reservior and a dedicated cooler because the drive and driven plates and the band were changed to run higher pressures with a re-calibrated valve body. Here is the question that will pretty much answer everything you want to know: how will the car be driven, and how long does it need to do what you want it to do?
