Thanks man. The IC came with the KB-racing kit, I'd assume it's one of the ebay cores, nothing to fancy. I've thought about upgrading to a good Garrret or PTE core honeslty.

aye how bad is that 2-3 shift on the nvg3500? i'd imagine a good .5 second of a shift? what're you going to upgrade to auto. or another manual?
Honestly, even though this trans is a fresh (20k) old trans, it really doesnt shift at all on a 2-3. It's doesnt grind in normal driving, but under a hard second gear it is simply locked out of 3rd. I'm guessing something to do with the TQ binding something up internally as this wasn't a problem pre-turbo. I'm also getting signs in logs the clutch is slipping on the spray.
It needs to go to an auto, just been putting it off.

If you end up going auto. Were u gonna build an 80 or a 60
I was thinking FLT 65e, level 5 or 7, running a manual valve body with this shifter setup. Was thinking the 23inch setup to come right up to where my 5 speed is currently, but now it's a bump and shift type setup with a built auto.

Careful with those manual valve bodies...they can spell disaster if you accidentally shift into too low of a gear all of a sudden.
