After recheck all the wiring the auto tran. still not downshift correctly .This cause highway passing to be "not so fun".

I think that it was cause by the malfunction or "signal not match" of both speedometer and tach. Both was not working at the moment. Will try to swap those unit from Chaser or Aristo. Hope the this will cure the problem.
Will post more pic when it was done.

Hate to loose that nice guage hope new tach will look as good as old one.

We are having the same problem currently. The speed sensor that we feed into AEM does not trigger tranny to shift at all. For now I had to run it on dyno in 2nd in order to tune all the AFR and idle. I can shift manually and it is missing 4th gear. I dunno, my mechanic is trying to figure it out also.

Retrodrive did your speedo and tach work? Mine doesn't. The speedo only work from time to time, I think that it was the bad conector behind speedo guage and ECU are not picking up the VSS-vehical speed signal. Mine tach are totally dead.

Try the Aristo guage yesterday by tab the wire, both tach and speedo are working perfectly. But too bad Aristo guage is too narrow and too tall and won't fit.

How your tran. work if switch to stock ECU?

Able to fix the boost creep and engine "bog" yesterday. It was cause by 2 little motor in pic "red arrow". I remove it out and try hot wire it and didn't hear and clicking sound. After replace it, the engine seem to rev faster,no more boost creep and no more engine "bog" My mechanic said that the little vaccum motor control the open and close of wastegate for 2nd turbo. Without the 2nd wastegate working the boost went up to 1.2 bar and ECU cut fuel and cause "bog".

That mean that I have run my car with only one wastegate for the last few weeks.

This is the cause....faulty ....... what the heck they call....?

First I think the "bog"cause by bad fuel pump. I have to change 3 fuel pump b4 I figure it this little motor that cause.

Do you still have Power steering?

Hearing both you and Retrodrive finishing up the project is making this swap very tempting.

Yes, power steering is working fine.

Will opt. for the Apex-i Rev Speed Meter to solvo the tach and speedo problem. Here is HKS Dragger installed long b4 the swap. It was to quite, might have to remove the pre-muffler for more aggressive sound.

Tach and Speedo problem solve today. with the help of Apexi REV/speed meter. The units also eliminate the 180 kph speed limit. (JDM Aristo have 180kph speed limit).
