Cool Stuck with Automatic

well by looking at the chats, i'm the only person trying to fix up an auto trans 2.0 p5 2002.


anyone else out there found any thing that worked real good.

because the car is the wifes ride so it has to be an auto, no way around it.


please help,

I too have an auto you could get an intake and exhaust. Theres a turbo out there for an auto but our tranny is no good to handle the boost so thats up to u if u have funds to play around with.

i can only explain that the chip works as well as you know when you jump in your car in the morning when its cold how good it runs, well it feels like that in the heat of the day.

as to how that transfers to hp/trq who knows.
