Awesome thread t vago!!!

I'm going to start on my WAI this weekend using my turbo as the heat source and by-passing the front mount inter-cooler. I might try to block it first but as Summer is almost here I'm sure I will need the air flow to get to the radiator.

I'm lucky when it comes to my car 1991 AWD Talon OBDI with ECM Link V3 SD management (will log over 40 different parameters including my wide band O2) and a re-chip TCU that has two options. Manual shift full line pressure so I can be in over drive at any speed/rpm and a race mode with preset shift points at full line pressure.

Since I installed the chip TCU I improve a ton on in city fuel mileage. What happen though is after the TCU chip install the stock converter was slipping at 20mph to 35mph in OD so I switch to John Deer HyGard fluid and it helps a ton with the converter slippage. Plus I use my car for racing also and HyGard is the new fluid that many racers are now using to handle the extreme loads that the trans is seeing at a much higher HP then stock.
