ya i know but it is what it is. I am working with Sam on this too. Waiting to see what the dealer says and then will go from there.

I've been married since I was 20. My kid's are grown up too. What makes you think I'm not?

I was able to buy SC and BBK without her knowing lol. That's well over 12k I hide from her.

If thats the worst of it than I'm sure it will be an easy fix. You dont hear it at idle, or under any load above 30-40% throttle...its 100% during cruising. I dont count decel or in between shifts because thats how its suppose to work.

I got the teflon paste to seal up the small oil leak I had on the oil relocation fittings so that should be OK now.

Sorry I havent gotten any pics or video, but I was throwing a huge halloween party and I had no time. Hopefully I can get back to all this during the week and get some good footage for you guys!
Thanks for the info, Danny. What BPV or BOV are you gonna go with?

Not sure, I'm going to a friends shop to see what he has from some of his track cars and test them out. He has a dyno on hand too so I should be able to get some results while I am there. Most likely I'll have that done on Thursday, late afternoon.

:eek: I think your spending too much time on those rigs!


really sorry to hear that the trans is having problems. Hopefully it at least turns in to a solution for you as well as others with the autos.

^^ ya tell me about it. tray cost more then the SC lol. find out later what the deler has to say. And then wait to see what Sam says he has uphill sleeve for the tranny. But you would know more bout that then me. I know that the tray was going to be a weak point but i did not figure it would fail like this.

Do the GTM kits come with that plastic Bosch BPV? I used to run that stock in my old Saab 900 and once I got up to 360hp and 20+psi, it would flutter because the internal spring was simply not up to the task of holding back that boost or releasing it effectively.

I would definately move onto another BPV; I have had great experience with Forge personally.

Damn shumby that sucks but that is part of the inherent risk of being one of the first guys. Look on the bright side, this forum has had way to many manual v. AT threads that have gone no where and now you've put an end to that....m6 wins!

Shumby, take your car back and give the guys at Level 10 a call.

I think you missed my joke there. As at as he auto trans, that is not eve close to my area of expertise. Sam does have a guy for that, and he is one of the best.

level 10?
