Default Sonnax Has arrived

I will install it and shoot some videos this weekend to see if I notice a difference in shifts.

X2 if it works as good as it says then that plus sc torque management should be pretty nasty.

Hemifever has written a torque management tune into my SCT blower tune so we will see how it works. For torque management, the best way to control it I've came across is solid motor & tranny mounts.

You can tune TM with SCT now?
Do they have transmission tuning available as well?

Yes, SCT has a TM tune but I still don't think they are tuning trannys yet. Shoot Hemifever an email and see what he says.

Install took about two minutes. There is a heat shield on the back portion of the tranny covering the sensor. I just pulled it out of the way, disconnected the OEM line and attached the Sonnax. We will see how it does.

Its worth every penny. Instant harder shifts and smoother acceleration throughout the gear range. I held boost better at every change in gear so for me it was definitely worth the 40 bucks. Tomorrow I will try and make a video and get it posted up.
