There aren't any issues that people are aware of, there's a difference. The individual with the Evo wouldn't have known there was a problem if he hadn't done some logs and fiddled with the tune himself. Rocket Rally is also an option, personally I would trust them over any other local tuner.

I think I'm gonna wait on the bigger turbo actually. I want this trans. solid when I upgrade to alot more HP, especially if the FP Green is overpowering. This year Im just going to get: Ultimate Racing intercooler and both hot and cold pipes, Forge BOV (actually just ordered it 2 minutes ago) and the ultimate racing intake (still not 100% decided on this or the HKS drop in).

I believe we do not know that yet because. 1. we haven't had a MR and RA transmission side by side taken apart. 2. Have not totally unlock the TCU of both.
Just treat the SST like you would a stock evo x clutch. It'll hold 350 fine, just won't take a lot of launches and a racing season. The big problem is when the SST clutches go... it doesn't cost 500+labor to change the clutch like a normal manual clutch. It can cost 5000+labor or upgrading to SSP clutch packs plus labor.
Which makes you want to think twice about modding heavily.

I think there was a guy from my city who got a quote of $12,500 to replace the transmission.
I just can't image paying that, I would park the car and rebuild the tranny myself.

Because I'm pushing 350hp/300trq. A transmission cooler like the ams or ssp one will do wonders. My car barely lasts 1 20 minute session with the stock cooler. I also need to link in to SSP's deep oil pan and a trans fluid change.
