Well Hector, when you and Kim #2 come down to HSV in July, let's all look him up. We can make the weekend a "Install Hector's Turbo Kit" meet!

Your money would be well spent at Streetflight, I think - even though you have the 4 banger. Their chips are about $200. Give them a call & ask.
The chips have to be programmed to your particular ECU and mods. There is a 4 digit code on the box that you'll need to give them so they can map things properly. If you buy the SVT guys chip, you'll have to send it away to be re-burned for your ECU & mods. That adds about $50 to the price.
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

It SHOULD work. .... If you wanted you could get streetflight to custom program a chip, but it would be more than $200. I'm sure they sell generic chips as well, and it would be just about the same no matter where you go. So... if you can afford it and you're done modding the engine, hop on a dyno, get some runs w/ air/fuel ratios done and send them off to streetflight. But if you're like the rest of us, buy that used chip and pay KKM $45 to reprogram it to your engine code. Though ask KKM about the chip before you do it. I think when I did it, they said it couldn't be more than a 2 and 1/2 year old chip, so I guess that would be 3-4 years now.

transgo makes a junior shift kit 4 the CD4e,i also rebuilt the whole tranny from top 2 bottom 2 make shure it would last longer. afterwards the shifts are nice a crispy and damn i forget wut kompany it is but there is a torque converter under the ford probe name which also uses the CD4e but i couldnt afford that 2.because the tranny bill was up to $3000 already. its best to get all of those installed in 1 sot so u only pay labour once for pulling the tranny out. Good luck!!!

And valve body, and aux. cooler and some more things.
Would be real good to do things like the clutch packs as well, but that would get real costly. The escape cd4e handles the kenne bell supercharger, so there is hope if you really want to use a cd4e with high horsepower. Not sure what is different about the escape cd4e.
As for the clutch packs... I have since found out that the clutch packs used by Level 10, Blue Plate Specials, are avaliable but only to Level 10. Our only "real" hope of having a highly modded ATX that last will be with these clutch packs. The BPS are designed for extremely high line pressure and tons of torque. Under alot of abuse from any highly modded platform would result in the clutches literaly coming apart.
As for the vavle body... there's not really alot more that can be done other than what I have talked about in the tranny forums. There is no secert ingrediant of parts, for the valve body, that will up line pressure or any of that. The TransGo kit, does really up line pressure but really just stabilizes it.
Torque convertor... As long as it is furnace brazed, you will be ok. Under no circumstances should you run a highly modded platform with a "rebuilt" TC. Normal welds will not cut the repeated abuse. Stall speed, you will have to know your power curves to match your stall speed, so...
Everything else should be good.
Now, with all the theory stuff out of the way... No one round these parts has ever done any of this, so we really don't know how alot of this stuff is going to act. I post what I told Hector when he told me about possibly buying that turbo kit....
If you wanted to be safe, you would have to call Level 10 and purchuse their clutch kit, which should include the Blue Plate Specials. I would use Redline ATX fluid, because it has a higher level of friction modifers in it. This would allow for better grip in the clutch packs and torque convertor clutch. Get a furnace brazed TC, yes they are all lock-up style tc's these days. That is unless you were to specify differently when custom building one. Right now, that is about all I can think of off the top of my head.
Since Hector has taken really good care of his tranny, with flushes every 20K or so, he should be fine for now. But what might lay ahead is anyone's guess.
Russell, on the other hand, might be ok since he will only be spraying ever so often. Then again, I guess it would depend on what sort of numbers he puts down when spraying.
Man... I'm tirer already!
