Transmission upgrade?

I've heard that once you get a certain amount of torque, the automatic transmission won't handle the extra power. I'm curious, do people put a whole new transmission in or is there a way people beef up the 7AT to handle more torque?

Google Level 10 transmissions. $5k for a new beefed up transmission.

I had found an eBay twin turbo kit and I've heard they're not bad but it's not anything super fast compared to a high end company. I don't know if an eBay twin turbo kit would break 500 HP? I'm trying to figure out what else I'm going to have to do to adjust for the TT.

Stay away from generic Ebay kits. Buy one made for the g save yourself the headache. Most kits stock is fine but I would upgrade bc you take out one of the weak points in the system

I'll try to do that. Is just more work to make it fit? Or bad quality.
