I fixed the BOV lol. Just fixed it about 5 minutes ago. Retapped it and tested it with the air compressor. All good.

Once the cat issue is fixed, it's big boost time.

so far, so good...surprised at how fast it shifts with the pedal down the floor...sumtimes its incredibly smooth n u barely feel the shift.........only thing is wen i go WOT sumtimes it stays stuck in watever gear it is till it slowly decelerates and upshifts a little after (lowerin the rpms)....idk if this occurred before cuz i didnt WOT as much but i dont think it did that before

Use your E-shift often. Surprisingly, my car acutally shifts slightly smoother when I "manually" change gears. Not that my tranny is rough at all, but...

11.1-11.6 @ WOT the whole way through so far. It has a permanent wideband and boost gauge display.

Hersh if you can get the car up off the ground you can snake your way around the bumper and get it lol. Use a 5mm allen key to loosen the bolts.

Do the hard driving tranny reset on your car. I reset it but didn't do the hard driving method on it. It's floating around somewhere on here or benzworld. It didn't have any shifting issues, just redlining in 4th still right? That's a computer issue.

EDIT: Yeah if you try to E-shift Hersh's car it redlines and goes into nuetral 7/10 times.

i had originally thought 2.5" as well...i even measured the removed resonator and the opening was 2.5" but the e-cutout i had purchased in the 2.5" size was too small compared to the rest of my piping.......makes me just realize now that mayb they sent me the 2" piping...

ill just pick up a 2.5" and 3" in case
