couple of questions

As always i spend hours reading these forums and as of late i have been reading alot on turbo applications for our maximas which have brung up some thing i dont quite understand cuz all this info is just overwhelming at times and not everyone on the org is a expert (or they give false info)

1) was doing some searching and kept seeing one guy say that the 300zx engine was built for turbo and from other sources on the org that these engines can handle up to 600hp!!! (something our max cant handle)
~This is something that has confused me, isn't the "vg30et" in the 300zx the same exact engine in maxima?(vg30e) so why cant our max handle as much hp as it? (excluding weak tranny)

2) as far as boosting... seems that our tranny is the biggest problem, i know their are places like level10 that can bulletproof it and stuff but cost $$$ (hey if it works im in for it, i do love the max after all)
~the concern here is auto vs manual.... boosted auto = dead tranny. ok but what about boosted Vlsd? (wats its breaking point without rebuild) are both ok bulletproof in which case it doesnt matter as far lasting and handling the load of boost? (not in the aspect of personal driving preference auto vs. 5spd)

3) is all as simple as bulletproof your tranny and the sky is the limit?


looking for answers from the pros
help a confused newb understand better
