well to put it bluntly the TC made a huge difference in my car.... after the SC had issues sunday..(by the way it was just the impeller bolt that came loose now worries) I was racing with no boost and raced a turbo RX7 at the battle of the imports and because of the TC I held in with him up to 330ft point..he hada better start then me but I still was ahead of him at the 60 ft time,,,2.26 to a 2.28 and was still close to him at 330 6.72 to a 6.43 this was from nothin more then the TC... so I attest to how good it works....
