It wasn't like I was drifting or anything just a bit squirrely... It still drives very smooth... but the boost kicking in got my attention real quick at first, two hands on the wheel.

Now I WANT more.

 

Boost is like crack.... it only takes a small hit before you want MMOOOOAAARRRRR!!!

 

NICE.

Sleeper status, haha

 

nice not to many g's in tucson i have noticed... i wanna say i have seen you around? i'm jealous

 

might have a solution to your bumper problem, if you want to keep the car looking stock for a sleeper look...guy from a racing forum here in SFL did this to get some more air to his intercooler with his stock bumper

Update???

Ever get the tranny built and bump the boost up?

 

Car is in the shop being painted... I have ordered Kranson wheels. The new tranny will be in by the end of August beginning of Sept.

 

Awsome. Besure to post pictures

 

Man I'm so tempted right now....grr stupid living arrangement priorities lol

How long did it take them to do the install? My main concern surprisingly is keeping the heat temps low under the hood. How's your car coping with that now especially in the Arizona heat? Also, are you using your old trans for the build? (Sorry for all the questions)

 

Where did the OP's washer fluid reservoir get moved to? In the 2nd pic of under the hood, it's missing.

 

I slide through turns occasionally, on purpose!! Don't need a turbo to do that. Just shift into manumatic and turn off VDC.



jibber, once again you have opened your mouth and stuck your foot squarely in it. I bet if you asked the OP if he enjoys driving a 5AT he would say Hell yes! Grow up and realize that some of us love our AT's and find them a lot of fun. Just 'cuz you think they suck doesn't make it so.

 

What color are you painting it?

 

It's very missing... I'm gonna have to get creative here and hide one somewhere. Not figured that out yet.

Will be almost the same DG... except the roof will be gloss black and the back veil above the exhaust will be a matte black that matches my painted grill.

 

 

It took about 3 weeks to have everything installed and tuned... I had a bunch done at once.

I have had no issues with heat even in AZ... the PowerLab kit does come with a huge intercooler. As far as the trans goes I'm looking for an old cheap trashed one to have rebuilt... but if I cannot find one then I will send mine.
