Do you have hackish's flash which makes the shifting noticeably crisper/sharper after he changes the throttle angle? When he finds an automatic car he'll spend some time with it and see how aggressive he thinks it should be, he told me. I currently have it uploaded, along with the 7200 rev limiter, which you can only take to that limit by shifting manually, otherwise, the engine will shift at it's predetermined limit of ~6300 rpm if left in "D"rive, and, therefore, traction is now an issue when launching for the first time since buying the car in '04! You NEED to get this if you don't have it already!

The baddest Supras out there all convert to GM auto trannies. Their puny manual trans cannot take the abuse (here, read 1000+ whp) the Turbo series trans can. Also alot cheaper to run.

Id love to keep working on my RA cause Im going to keep it even if I do get an Evo. But the more I work on the RA the less $$ I can put toward an evo...

Forge FMDV008 Diverter Valve
Review: The weight of this device gave me the first impression that I was getting something for my money. It's smooth, high gloss, painted surface with the engraved "Forge" logo, as well a it's obvious technical design and construction, makes it stand out among it's competitors. The ability to maintenance it, or change out the springs by removing its hex key bolts is a plus. It's performance is as the Audi TT 1.8 recirculation valve that I had previously, but the sound is less turbulent, the response is crisper, and what tickled me the most was it's suttle, high pitched report that it gives off upon deceleration in my automatic transmission! What does all this mean as far as performance? I don't really know, but just knowing that I have a quality piece of serviceable engineering under the hood that I paid a nominal fee for, from an evom member, made it totally worth it.

Forge UNOS Manual Boost Controller (MBC):
A MBC was recommended by hackish, et al, soon after I completed the turbo build on my car back in July, 2013. It wasn't until last week though that I finally followed through. I finally can stop dragging out the jack, stands, and other tools required, to crawl under my car to make the adjustments to my WG actuator!
I'm finding out as well, that this device, although still an estimation game, is a much more accurate method than the aforementioned procedure! Construction wise, Forge comes through again with a bullet proof, simple, serviceable construction, complete with two mounting brackets and hardware, and a soft and firm spring to accommodate boost pressures.
