ok, how bout Kreeger who's running a JDM ver7 STI motor on his stock 2.5TS tranny? He put down over 300whp on I think 9psi of boost at Top5speed with a weaker transmission than the WRX gets. He's also been running that setup for a year and a half I believe.

You never specified whp. In that case there arent as many around Atlanta but plenty enough elsewhere in the country. Do you just love to argue about everything? The gearbox can hold up if you treat it correctly.

Come out and actually meet some of the local Subaru guys and you'll find out how many people are running larger turbos and holding up fine on the stock gearbox.
