Trans wouldn't upshift so I ditched the stock trans harness for now.. I got a jakes manual box to run the transmission "full manual"
I dropped the manual box off Saturday and they said they would install it Monday and tune Tuesday!
I texted them yesterday for an update with no reply?
Also I looked at my car Saturday and they didn't even install the new alternator connector I dropped off last weekend yet, and I noticed the button cap on my transbrake button near my shifter was missing?
I didn't say anything because I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt but there should be no explanation why that button is missing..

Ok trans is still acting up, it hesitates to engage into 1st gear. Take 1-2 seconds then engages..
They got it up to 5 psi and it made 443 hp, this was on the spring.. Eboost2 was off
I have the car, gonna trouble shoot the trans or send it in to jakes to get looked at if I can't fix it..

The transmission would never up shift, I pulled the tranny and never had the time or money to open it up.. I ended up selling it.. Then parted most of the car out..
If I had to do it all over again I would have kept all the stock suspension and picked a turbo kit that utilized a stock k member.. Then after I got the car running top notch, I would have slowly added everything else..
I think I did way too much before even getting the car started and tuned, I learned a whole lot on this build..

I know, my car was also sabotaged at the shop I had it in..
When I picked my car up after the dyno tune the eboost2 gauge was no longer working.. It was brand new by the way
The car also was not charging right and it kept dying on me, even after I bought a new alternator..
After I started parting the car out I noticed a few things..
Someone removed the inline fuse from my eboost2 and put a smaller fuse in half the size of the original one, you could shake it in the fuse housing that's how small it was..
Also the alternator exciter wire was done wrong and that's probably why my car was never staying charged..
I was pretty much over it and the bad shop experience sent me over the top..
I do all my own work and even had the car started in my garage via a break in tune and everything was fine mechanically before I brought it in to that shop..
They fixed my power steering lines but that's about all they did.. $900 down the drain going to that shop
My advice to all is to buy hptuners and learn to partially tune with help from a pro via data logging.. Unless your dealing with a sponsors shop that has a legit tuner, do your due diligence and research a good tuner and pay to tow, fly your car over there.. Don't go to some weak *** tuner with no references or bad reviews..

I'm sorry that happened. That's just not right. Makes me a little worried. I'm building turbo car also. Doing all of the work at one time also. Makes me a little nervous for sure!
And go out of the way to find a good tuner with a lot of experience with turbo cars..
I'm wiring the same pumps in right now. Do you remember how you done it? I found a thread on hooking them up with relays and have all that. Was yours in a hobb switch or did I miss that part?
Yes second pump was on a Hobbs switch, first pump was run on the racetronix Hotwire kit.
