Default need some opinions

i just got a few things i would like some opinions on before i do them
i blew my tranny in my srt....oops
its in the shop now getting diagnosed but the are a couple of things i would like to do in the mean time, since the tranny is gonna be out i would like to put in upgraded trans mounts, are the some that are better to use, what should i use and where can i get them?
also i currently have an hks ssqv bov and i think when i first installed it i was peaking 17psi, and sticking about 16....now it seems i peak 17 and only hold 14-15....is this the case with most srt's, or should it not flutter that much? Will a new bov help me hold psi? and what would be the most recommended bov? i prefer a woosh sound over the "dog wistle" sound
any suggestions on a good clutch kit?
is there any advantage to getting a direct replacement inter cooler, or is the whole point of replacing to go much bigger? thanks

hey whats up, first off, agp makes a nice tranny mount and i believe it's under $100. In my opinion if your going to go that route, why not do the engine mounts also. The only problem i had was the annoyance of increased engine vibrations, but it did dramatically reduce my wheel hop! Leave your HKS on there. IMHO that is the best blow off valve on the market. Something you can try to hold your psi at higher rpms is swapping out your WGA. Im running an adj. AGP unit on mine and i love it to death (peaks about 20 and drops to 18ish) I am also running a Spec stage 2+ clutch on mine and i have not regretted it. Actuates smoothly and it's easy on the pedal too (and priced well compared to others like centerforce, etc...) I have the large agp intercooler setup on mine and it's great (stock turbo) it feels like theres a little less turbo response but at my higher rpms, i felt a slight difference. Plus, if you do go with an aftermarket turbo, you've already got your better flowing intercooler to support it. Hope some of this helps.. good luck.

SSQV is the best you can buy, thats not the problem with your boost. That BOV is designed to suck itself sealed under boost, not push against the air pressure. Try doing a boost leak. #1 problem in SRTs.
The tranny mount alone will give you some imense vibrations (too much for my taste), but does reduce hop. They are easy enough to change out though.
FMIC isnt bad, but stocker can support 300whp so its not needed. Go for downpipe and exhaust instead for gains.

To me the stock IC sucks, yea it can handle up to 300hp but the heat soak on it is what kills the power, to which one to buy, its up to you and the look you want, I have the CXRacing one and it works great, plus has less boost drop then everyone elses at only a 1 psi drop where as the AGP has a 1.5. X2 on the AGP w/g and trans mount, but get the motor ones as well, they are the best on the market. The HKS's are awesome keep it, again one of the best on the market. Upgrade exhaust to help your stock turbo breath, most go with a full 3" system, moderen has a great 02 housing, dp I think most go with maxxfab unless you want a cut out then QTP are the best. As far as cat back systems just see what you like.
