It depends on the purpose of the tranny. Twin Turbo Supra got the V160/161. This was the transmission of the gods. NA got the W58. Not known to handle much more than 50% over stock torque.

If this car is destined to be a NA only 2.0L there is no reason for Toyota or Subaru to ask Aisin to build it to take more than 200 lb-ft, there is no reason for it to be super strong.

I'm just throwing out worst case scenarios, so we'll all be that much happier when the 305 hp, bulletproof 6 speed, 2.5L Turbo Sti/TRD, easily tuned with a Cobb Accessport, version comes out. (pleaaaaase...)
