I wouldnt worry about it... the fact you have a new TC and better synchros in the trans is nothing to be pissed about... as long as the car is holding up well and gives you no problems, just enjoy it!

^^ I thought about doing that but I have heard stories of people going in for the grind then it comes back a month later and whole transmission gets rebuilt and grind still comes back. Considering that is what seems to have happened with my car alread it seems pointless to try and fix. Plus it only happens if I slam fifth say with my RPMs above 5k if I let them drop a little bit it is fine. I think I might be better off leaving it alone. Also that way I don't hear well it is caused from your TBE or intake or BOV crap. I am trying to save the warrenty for if I really need it.
