996 Turbo Tiptronic Upgrade?

Does anyone offer any upgrades for the 996 Turbo Tiptronic Tranny. I wish it would shift faster and firmer. Anyone swap solenoids on the conductor plate? Any modifications to valve body available? What about software on the trans controller?

Ha. Good one. I doubt she will be done for a few weeks. Thanks for the invite.

Let me know if you upgrade the valvebody or Torque convertor. I was speaking with IPT and am strongly considering the TC swap based on other turbo cars I've owned

Mine was built by Rennhaus in Florida thru VIVID. I can't say yet how it will hold up, but is supposed to be good to 1000hp. We shall see ;0)

I had mine built by IPT. Car shifts feel firmer. I dont recommend a high stall tq converter for smaller turbos. Power comes on way to quick and you do nothing but 4 wheel burnouts.
