Tip gearbox upgrade

Hi Guys, I would like to know is there any company that can sell you a set of tip gearbox kit like ESMOTOR before and no need to send the whole gearbox to mod it? Why i'm asking is because ESMOTOR no longer selling the tip kit alone and you must buy their turbo kit too but i've already had change the turbo on my car. Also the shipping cost too much for me to send my gearbox from Asia to Europe or US to mod it. Thank you very much.

I ordered the tip upgrade kit from ESMOTOR last week and got the bad news

FVD.de sells a kit that looks exactly like the ESMOTOR kit, they even used the same picture

Renntech built my Trans a little over a year ago very reasonably priced but they are in the US. I had a local trans shop then take apart my trans to add some failed oil pump inside the trans as well as a upgraded torque converter. It took this trans shop not even a day to tear apart trans and put oil pump and torque converter in. I say you shop around and look for a trans race shop and see if they can do the upgrade in house.

Jacky, as i have already told you mine was done at MKB Germany, i have asked them if they sell the kit and i'm afraid they dont, all tuners are afraid that someone might copy and sell what they do. Just have in mind that MKB was the first to offer tiptronic upgrade
