Correct me if I'm wrong.
The oem TT auto tranny can hold about 500rwhp, depending on how hard you drive it, and what kind&size of tires you run.

Yes, 500rwhp+ with a 6spd does require a certain level of skill. A forced-induction vehicle is variable-horsepower (depending on boost level). If boost hits while you're cornering, it's almost completely unmanageable. With lots of track time and lots of patience you can learn to keep it off the walls...

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
