Another TC installed...
Got mine installed and like everyone says, it's a great mod! No more lag from stop. Car feels like it lost 500 pounds. 
Also installed the grounding kit. Would like to publicly thank TM Engineering (Todd) for the install and JPI for the group buy on the TC.
Next up....the leatherseats GB. I was just thinking, we need to limit the number of GB's going on around the same time, it's killing me!

I'm hoping I can get down to TM in the next week or so... I wonder if Todd would consider doing the install on a Saturday? The drive down and back absolutely SUCKS!
What cooler did you use and how long did the whole installation take?
What is your impression of the grounding kit (Got one from Todd but didn't have time for the install yet.)

Thanks rominl. Well, I took it in the night before so I wouldn't have to drive there in the morning. So, I'm not sure when Todd actually started on it, but he ran into a minor issue with rusted bolts when removing the catalyt (sp?) converter. And yes, I got the tranny cooler too.

As for the grounding kit, I don't notice any difference.
Good Luck.

Actually, I did my installation on Saturday, so you probably just need to make an appointment with him. Not sure what cooler Todd installed, you can probably ask him when you make your appointment. Not sure on the installation time since I dropped it off on Friday night and picked it up the next day.

Good Luck.

I would MUCH prefer driving down early Sat. than a weekday....
I would like to get my grounding kit and my TM plugs installed at the same time if possible.
Glad to hear so many good reviews on the TC!!

Awesome! I may see if Todd can do mine this Sat. I would even buy him lunch if he can do it!
