Like I said you would not be disappointed with the MKB solution.
In terms of power, I think that is difficult to be precise. I have run my full proto package on k24/20gs at 1.5bar and it was fine. So that is probably around 680whp, which is around mid 800s at the crank.
Milou will probably confirm how good the shifting is as well. Mine for sure is a lot better.
It works. I have done 1000 miles hard driving on it. No issues.
I didn't fit the cooler in the end, because the ATF fluid was within temperatures when testing, and MKB would not commit to me doing that.
Car was in the garage last week, and we drained some of the ATF. It was the same colour as we put in.
Given the dollar has strengthened against the euro, I would say it is a very good time to get this done if you are thinking of it. No affliliation with MKB.

The difference on gear shifts is minimal, the greater th3ing is that it does not slip any more, i drive the car hard every day, the wether is like 35-40 degrees celcium and so far the car is perfect.

In the end, from the most elaborated to the basic kit, all will do the same job. A year ago i was almost to make a custom kit for the SMGII of my M3. The cooler, oil pump and thermostat would be from Mocal and the lines made by the installer.
As you showed a pic of the torque converter, did you ever thought change it for a race spec?

It is a Mocal oil to air cooler, 194mm/25 row x 115mm , heavy duty, with 1/2" hose connectors.
The original one we had was too large, but the above is fine.
Cost is around 200 EUR or less.

Guys, I was driving with tip from mkb on 997 tt with modd gt2 turbines.
The strange thing was that during hard lunch clutch start to slip.
I was standing still waiting for ,6bar boost and feet of the brake.
