Um...is it automatic or manual? You have both....

But to answer your questoin, yes it's been done, and if you have a couple shreds of common sence, it's perfectly fine

Turbo + Auto Transmission

Would you increase the power? --yes
Would you bve able ot pump out 300whp? --not without lots of money

I would say a modest turbo setup would be worth it, I believe the tranny would be the weak point.

 

[lbzking]

It's both, It's the triptronic trans it shifts really good I don't know
if there is some chip I could put in it to shift harder cuz I think it's all
handeled by the computer.

That's cool, I was just saying that the sport shift is really an automatic and not close at all to the manual.

 

[Sveivo]

But you already know that

 

[lbzking]

it's going to be about $2500 for the whole job...

Yea. You have to baby our trannies. You can push as much as you want but our trannies will just blow if they aren't maintained right.

Turbo P5

If you want to turbo your tiptronic P5 and you have no intentions of upgrading your tranny(ie valve bodies, torque convertor, etc) you'll need to stay at least 8 psi or lower and do not get boost friendly or it will be bye bye tranny.

Their are a couple companies here like Hiboost or MAM that sell quality kits and their is also some auots getting the MSP factory turbo kit as mentioned by the previous posts.

Also when your driving your P5(turboed) let your foot off the gas before it shifts then you can get on it after that. This will help your torque convertor from working too hard. You could probably gain at lease 170-175 WHP with 8 psi.

Well hope that helps.

So it sounds like it's not really the motor I have to worry about it's the trany
What would be the most imortant thing to do as far as bullet proofing the trans.

you might wanna look up lentech to upgrade valvebodies and converter etc etc...im prolly gonna boost also...here pretty soon...gonna keep it conservitive at 6 psi...then upgrade with some lentech stuff just to be safe

 

[FunkyBuddha]

Don't bother. Put that 2500 to better use.

 

[03Mazdarati]

what would you suggest?
