Tiptronic Upgrades for Stage 3???
OK so I have read what I can find on Level 10, spokento them a few times and I am still not clear. Having them do the full trans for 4500 or upgrading the torque converter and valve body @ about 1500? According to them either option will handle the power of a well set up turbo upgrade.
Does anyone have any experience or real understanding of what the difference in performance and strength will really be?

Depends on the hp/tq and how you drive...
If you're planning on moderate 3- hp/tq and drive reasonably, a TC and VB might be OK. If you want more hp/tq (fueling, agressive tuning, etc) and will drive the car hard with lots of launches, etc. think about cracking the tranny to upgrade the clutch packs.
FWIW, my 3- set-up has been good for over 10k with just an L10 TC.
Check out IPT, as well. They're supposed to be good<ul><li><a href="http://www.importperformancetrans.com/news.shtml">http://www.importperformancetrans.com/news.shtml</a</li></ul>
