Cascade has recently released a stage 2 torque converter. Mine has decided that it needs a seal, and so I am in for a rebuild. Has anyone done a higher stall torque converter on a TDI?
I get ya on that, I'm not implying that at all. I caught Aaron at the end of the day a couple days ago and have not had the time to call back and get details. I was hoping someone on here had experience with it.Why don't you just call Cascade and talk to Aaron? He doesn't sell junk...
I'm sending him one of my spare converts as a core. yay.
I'm not getting it back. Manual FTW!Let us know how how the new one is when you get it!
My right foot can be pretty dam heavy at timesFyi, if you have "crazy amount of turbo lag" you may have another issue. Usually not a problem even with stock cars. If there is lag it is the automatic figuring out what to do from your right foot.
Did you recode the transmission to Sport mode?My right foot can be pretty dam heavy at times
But seriously at a stop sometimes ill give it about 50% throttle and i have to wait a second or two for the car to be like "oh hey I get it you wanna go now" No lights or any codes though and I know the engine/turbo are fine, i did think it was mainly from the transmission so you're prolly right.
Planning a manual swap now anyways after talking to Mike over at 413 Auto. For the price in components and labor its the only logical choice imo unless you're doing your own work. Plus better mpg for the most part and better performance.
