That took a lot longer than I thought it would. Jeff must be really busy to put you off that long. I still have a few issues but it took everything I was complaing about and fixed them. Right now all I really have to complain about is a flat spot between 2000 and 3000 rpm but Ray & Jeff think it's a bypass valve so I ordered a new one - This Cobb AP was worth waiting for. It even made my at shift smoother.

not only the torque converter.
I am trying to figure what the power stearing has to do with the hp and how it can be effected. I must be missing something.

I don't think your the one that missed something there Phil.
HP would not have any effect on an electrical actuation system like our steering.

09Factor, when you installed the turbo have you tuned your car as well?

Like I don't understand how it works on a AT, is it just a pnp thing and set your PSI.

2nd question, if I have the cobb accessport I can install the turbo and choose the map then I am good to go, is that how it seems like to be?
