well i think i fixed the bogging part it seems to rev great now sitting in the drive way will take for another test drive tomorow the tps was off and i had a boost leak so hopefully that fixed it and my shifting issue was even from before in my truck i think the ecu is bad because in my truck it would shift sometimes and sometimes not so i just wired in some switches on the shifter handle just incase it decided not to shift lol

Well minus the problems with the car, I think its a very sick swap and when you do get it running right would you mind doing a in-car pull video?
