PowerMax Road Test

[Archive]

Installed my new PowerMax today. Actually a "dealer" did the Installation. I watched.
It turns out his kid was a friend of my wifes. (another story)

The installation was extrordinarily simple. It took about 40 min. which included 2 test runs. (before and after)The only glitch, after everything was done by the directions, was the check engine light came on and wouldn't go off. A quick call to Mark and he told us that the 12v power supply wire (green w/black stripe) might not be sufficiant so he said to use the red w/green stripe wire (it was heavier guage)


Now on with the raves: WOW!!!

Not much else to say.
power is incredible, boost comes on really fast. you can't shift fast enough 2nd to 3rd, then the turbo kicks in low in the rpms in 3rd and WOW its time for 4th, just when your hair catches on fire you shift to 5th, WOW!!!

Needless to say I'm satisfied... ... .

Buzzard,
I installed the $699 one. I think it will be more than sufficiant. TST said if it wasn't I could upgrade for the $100 difference but so far I'm satisfied.

I called Mark @ TST about some new noises: The clatter when you let off after a hard excelleration he said it was the pressure going back to the turbo and it was harmless. So far I'm very impressed with the power
