That was quick Chris. I thought you were still on your honeymoon. What have you done to my car? I put the tune in yesterday and today I gave it a big squirt in 1st and 2nd. I thought it was going to tear the ar*se out of the auto. Well you know what I mean. Christ it goes. The traction control could barely keep up with it. Absolutely love it!! And I am sure there is more to come. You are definitely the MASTER.
Cheers, Ian.

I must say, I've thought about doing this conversion as well.

I was originally thinking of changing from my 4-speed auto to a 6-speed manual, but after driving the car with the upgraded motor and the Kenne Bell supercharger kit I decided I had enough on my plate without worrying about clutch pedals, etc. And when Chris told me about the reasonable life expectancy of the auto after his software upgrades to the unit, I decided the auto was the way to go.
