Default Yank SBS 3800 is in....HOLY HELL

Hey guys, just wanted to say how damn excited i am about my car being done. This thing is a monster... not so fun driving in the snow, seeing as how i got stuck going up a hill, but its fun none the less. This converter woke the car up from a slumber and i recommend it to anyone wanting a decent sized stall. Did a little 25-95 pull the other day on the freeway at 3/4 throttle and all i can say is WOW!

Anyway theres still a couple kinks i need to work out with the car for any of you who caught my last thread, but she is up and running and better than ever.

Shout out to everyone at Yank for building a damn solid converter and having kick *** customer service at the same time. I know from here on out nothing but Yank will be put in any of my A4 cars.

- Zack

These converters are bad@$$. Up to from 40 to 45 MPH, I can go WOT and the car will downshift to second and blow the tires off. It's awesome!!! Congrats' on the install.

Good to hear. I will be adding a new tranny and stall shortly before summer and look forward to how it feels. At first I wanted to go with a 3600 stall and now thinking 4000 might be the way to go.
