Default VBU Sucks! WTH?

Ok...I had the VBU from GTM installed and everything good there. Had my tuner adjust my Uprev tune with the tables that Sam @GTM sent to me to have him adjust. So I get it on the road and it seems to shift a little better but not the drastic difference I was expecting. And to top it all off I lost my Syncro-rev (rev matching) completely!!!! WTF is that all about. On the downshift for those of us that are spirited drivers and like to use our paddle shifters since they are there.. it is supposed to kick up and then down like a normal shift would do on the tac, instead it just slams into the lower gear without the pip up before going down in revs. I now have made a video and sent it to Level10 transmissions because GTM didn't have a clue as to what could be wrong when I had my tuner contact them. So this is extremely frusturating and I'm about to just go back to my OEM VB since the only differences I'm REALLY seeing is that I lost the rev-match on my downshifts and it STILL has a damn lazy shift when you are not getting on it. When you get on it I agree it does shift nicely shifting upwards, but I would like the whole damn experience thank you of driving my boosted car. The VBU may make your trans last longer but if it acts like this it really isn't that much fun honestly.. Hopefully the guys from Level10 transmissions will be able to see from the video if they can determine what "may" be the problem. Was going to buy the torque converter and now not so sure I'm even interested anymore, can't seem to get a quality product, and after $1500 when all is said and done I could have done something better with it..
