Godfather MKIV is on a distinguished road
Default

i have the BL stage 1 kit and heres a few things i had to do...for one...expecially with the age of your tranny (mine was 136k miles) you need a upgraded tranny...mine lasted 3 months before it started slipping 2nd gear and another thing is if your looking to go any further than the 280whp you need a new headgasket...it was fun at first but once i realized i couldnt boost more than 9psi without a headgasket i had to upgrade...but those things arent too much...it cost me 1700 for a built BL tranny (got it on a for sale listing) and 230 for the 2mm headgasket and anothern 130ish for head studs and a map-ecu for 400.

so if your going NA-T, you might as well budget for the tranny, headgasket, maf transulator or map-ecu, and head studs to complete the transistion.
