nothing has changed on the 2006 MTs..
the 2006 ATs have both oil coolers
no changes to map(except of course those necessary for the new combination of high power with 6AT)

Not trying to burst anyone's bubble, just dont' want you to be all disappointed if your car isn't there on that exact date.

At this point it's not a big issue. I am working to solve my job situation first, so it can be a little late. However, when my job situation is fixed, I will be very anxious for it to get here.
I think I got over the disappointment when it wasn't here January 27 when originally quoted.

Zoom44,
Not to highjack this thread but are you comfortable with the present level of cooling for the MT?
