I am just curious , how did you know your TC had a leak? During the install or after driving and seeing spots on the driveway?


fluid pouring out was a fairly obvious clue unfortunately.



this happened a few months after it was installed.


im not familiar with TCs but up to that point i was happy with it despite mediocre gains.i still think a better driver wouldve done better.


major difference between that and stock for sure.


it was warrantied no questions asked though.

I have a vig 3200 that has at least 50,000 miles on it I bought it used from a freind that ran mid 11's I raced nearly every weekend at least at one track in my area if not twice before getting deployed to Iraq I myself put 20,000 miles on this converter and its still going strong. As far as other converters I have ran tci converters in all out drag cars and had excellent results. I learned the hard way you get what you pay for in converters don't try and cut corners in this area it will cost you down time as well as performance.

Amen to that! I found out the hard way when my TCI puked after one year.
