NEW Youtube video

So, I remade the Youtube video as the other was too dark. Check it out and let me know what you think.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7G0h5h-2sQ

Current upgrades:
-AFE stage 2 intake
-Magnaflow 4" exhaust
-Edge COMP
-Banks Torque Coverter
-BD Flex Plate
-Banks High Ram Intake elbow
-Banks wastegate mod kit
-IssPro gauges

Up next:
-Injectors
-Fuel Pump
-Exhaust manifold

The turbo puts out about 26-29 PSI depending on the gear at WOT.

What TC controller would you recommend? And you would be correct about the pyro probe.

You should look into getting a valve body. Cool video.

How would I go about putting in this $10 switch? (I guess I should look around before post huh?)

I was also thinking about getting a valve body, it should make a good improvement.

how much of a benefit would this actually give me? "The use of a torque converter switch can improve 0 to 60 mph times by 3-5 seconds," I have my doubts about that...

It's nice to have. But you can't use it all the time. You will destroy your tranny. Only in 3rd (o/d off) or 4th (o/d on).

^^^ Agreed. A valve body will help a lot and will help prolong the life of your trans.
