Thumbs up Thanks Fed Ex! (pic)

Finally got the TC from the recent group buy! Thanks JPI for putting that together and for great service too!
Now to get a cooler and find the time to get the install done...can't wait! Just one question--why purple? Oh well, no one will see it after the install

ah i can see the power o nthe foam already

the purple is for heat indication i believe. if later on the tranny failed, you pulled it apart and the pink/purple is gone, that means there was too much heat inside when it failed. i believe that's the purpose

Interesting, you may be right on the paint-either that or they got a good deal on purple paint...
Man this thing is HEAVY! Very heavy duty appearing and well made. Todd at TM Engineering told me this thing is almost over-engineered and thus the high cost of the unit. I'll post results of course (with some timed runs) after it's installed.

Not sure- when ever time and $$$ permit. The drive down to Carson sucks but it's still worth it. Todd has done many of these TC installs and I want him to do mine!

Congrats on the TC purchase FutureGS!

Yeah, install time is at least 6 hours because the tranny has to be dropped.

My next performance mod (lsd being the first) is this too. I think it will probably sit in my garage till next year before I can get it installed as I am sure the $$ to install this will be pretty steep.
