They are probably your cheapest option. I'm giving them a shot.

Its kinda hard to pick just because i pushing very low boost untell i put some miles on the car then i would like to turn it up 12 psi or more. But finding a transmission that will hold that kinda of power cost alot... I dont mind waiting to turn up the boost to save some money now and to spend the big bucks later.
