I need a bit of clarification. The 722.5 is the same as the 722.3 with the addition of an electronically controlled overdrive unit on the back, is this correct? When you say that the 722.5 cannot take the HP

The overdrive components are undersized?

Is there an alternative transmission for the 603 engine that you could recommend?

I have also heard of people installing an additional clutch plate (I believe the transmission in my black coupe is a 722.350 w/ 5 plates over of the stock 4).

The 928 guys are putting 5-700Hp through their 722.3's.

I've heard the same thing MB Doc mentioned about the 722.5..thus why I'm looking to install a manual

Where can I get specific info / parts for hardening a 722.3?

Yes, I had read this and also the English posts on the Finnish forum. They were putting their efforts into HP generated at higher RPMs, if I go ahead with a Holset VGT turbo (Garrett calls there’s VNT) I will making more torque and HP at lower RPMs and this (as I understand it) puts more strain on the transmission than the same torque and HP at a high RPM.

Did you do anything special to the trans?

Thanks
