****, I didnt even think about insurance being expensive! Thats what I come to a forum before I buy! Ive got 6 points on my license so this might be bad. Even though I only have 1 speeding ticket and 1 accident that are from 4-5 years ago the ticket was at 3am and over 100mph, it really screwed me and im only 23 so no drop insurance yet.

And im not sure what you mean by the auto needs a turbo upgrade to compete with the 5 speed, I was under the impression thats it all in the tuning, so if I do, airbox cover delete, catless dp, intercooler and run a 24psi tune it would net similar hp regardless of which transmission (the auto losing a pinch more through the drivetrain). Do I just need to add 3 Bar map sensors? thats all the GMPP is, sensors and base tune.

 

Other the upgrading the transmission fluid, are any of you guys with Hot Automatic cars running any additional transmission cooling or increasing the fluid quantity somehow?

 

Haven't heard of any, yet.

 

Neither.

 

So the new to me 2010 has the GMTU that i thought was'nt working , Then tonite it spiked to 20 PSI in 3rd gear. What is an average you guys are seeing in boost whith the GMTU , I know weather ect. affects this , But what is the norm. ?

I maybe having a lot of ?'s for you auto guys , As i never payed a ton of attention to the info i now need with my auto , DOH !!!!

 

Chris, 18-21 with all stock parts. Then up from there.

 

Others might disagree but to see max boost in lower gears it helps to be almost stopped before you roll into it. Trans in I and comp mode on, helps too.

 

If it doesnt seem to be boosting like it should, do the old pull the ECM fuse and let it reset..I find after puttering around for too long the brain picks up the habit..so it runs like you drive it, even when you want it to do more....ex-driver might now have ever "driven" it
