Thumbs up My Experience with SGP

Just wanted to post some positive feedback for SGP from the recent experience I've had with them on my VB upgrade. Iscrewed around and for a couple of different reasons didn't ship my VB to them as quickly as I should have and I needed to get it back as soon as possible. Anyway, they did everything they could to give me like a three day turnbaround time and even fed ex'd it to me on a saturday at no additional charge. The whole time they kept great communication and were extremely helpful. I would highly recommend these guys.


I will post about the vb itself when the car is done today or tomorrow.

I talked to CIN today and they said that everything seems good and that it is shifting hard like its supposed to. They're just gonna let it cool all the way down and then run it one more time just to make sure there are no issues. BTW they said that the boost spike has gone down from 1.5psi to less than .5psi

I am eagerly awaiting your VB review of SGP's unit.
I expect to hear great things.

Personally, I decided not to deal with the downtime. I bought a brand new OEM VB, and will have it shipped to Sam at GTM. When it comes back, I'm going to bolt it into the car, and take the Level 10 VB, and ship it right back to Level 10.

Its a head snapper isn't it, especially in tiptronic. Did you mount your tranny cooler in the front?

Well since the greddy,s ic piping took up to much room,i mounted it up on top of the drivers side ac condensor and it just fits perfectly there.

got mine installed and its awesome. Breaks the tires loose from 1-2 and sometimes from 2-3. I don't see how this can't take time off my 1/4. It started out bumping really hard when i shifted into 3rd under normal driving conditions but somehow that ironed itself out after about 30 miles of driving. Now daily driving is just like OEM basically. The only thing I'm not happy with and this isn't sgp's fault, is that I'm still experiencing boost spikes of 1.5 psi when shifting from 1 to 2 and 2 to 3. Is this something that I should worry about or is it happening so fast that it should be fine?
