Now I'm needing to replace my tranny due to too much boost. Sucks to be me.

which kit was it? I'm not aware of any Turbonetics kit that run less then 8 PSI intake mani pressure out of box. As a result every kit in production uses a 9 PSI spring in the wastegate as after the pressure drop across the intercooler core and charge piping it comes out to ~8 PSI of intake manifold pressure.
