^You should be using synthetic oils anyway, I don't see why people use mineral oil for anything besides engine break-in anymore.
For the problems concerning the trans, although it would be a pretty intense and labour-induced fix, a good way to prep it for more power would be to have the gears hardened. That way you could have the same ratios with stronger gears that can take a bit more abuse. I also forsee a TRD gear-set coming to the market to handle extensive power mods.
As far as fitting a turbo goes, I think it will end up being far easier to have a SC kit built for this engine, but I'm not the expert there since I prefer NA anyways. Exhaust modifications look like they will be benificial to the power and reduced weight of the car too. A good titanium system that does not cross to the passenger side will likely be possible.
It is also nice to see they are using a hydraulic clutch system, I hate any other. Excited to start saving for the car!
