Default not gonna happen. your only restriction is that your car is tiptronic.

if you had a 5-speed manual, you would need an APR stage 3+ on race gas and perfect conditions. Seeing that APR only sells the stage 3 now, 5-speed owners can see low 13's/high 12's on race gas and the proper setup. The reason that your car won't get DOWN (not up), to the 12's is that your tranny wont stand up to the power without some work. Secondly, even for 5-speeds to get into the mid-12's it takes a custom turbo kit bigger than the PES T-28 or APR stage 3. This would cost around $10-$15k for parts and installation. Im assuming you would do a 2.0 liter conversion and get a FMIC, brakes, exhaust, HFC, manifold, pistons, suspension, injectors, boost gauge, clutch+flywheel and turbo + software tuning.

Default well he could get a level 10 upgrade for the tranny

but he'd still need a 2.0 conversion, much bigger turbo, probably a small shot of nitrous, and a big fat wallet he's ready to empty

just sell your car and pick up a 5-speed. that is the only way you're going to hit the mid-12's IMO
