Message: [QUOTE="slc6oh, post: 1380203, member: 22358"] I'm HORRIBLE at watching my tach/speedo lol. cruising at 70-75 today I was iirc 18/1900 rpm. Turbo is right there (even up hill).. slow down to 55-65, and maintain on perfectly flat is all you can do in od. the slightest increase in throttle and it starts to get smokey.. fall off the turbo up a windey canyon with a 65mph speedlimit by slowing down to 60 and I make both lanes in each direction vanish before it decides to downshift. runs in direct locked for a min, then right back to od/smokey. that was frustrating. till I decided a 5mph over speeding ticket wouldn't be that much and just ran at 70 haha (no ticket/trouble though up/down that canyon either direction) ... It was MUCH better before the new converter/trans. . weighing my options on having the converter re-stalled to at or slightly higher than stock, then going from there (for my now worse in town drivability) [/QUOTE]
