Is anyone running one of these? I’m interested to know if it’s worth the money while I have the motor out? They claim 150rpm lowered stall speed. How will this translate to drive feel? I will ultimately be running a frank 06 cam and malone stage 2 as well as a bv43 turbo.

Performance converters are usually looser not tighter than stock. Maybe this is the reverse for diesels?

“Rebuilt and upgraded torque converter fitting 2004-2005 B5.5 VW passat.
Stall has been lowered 150 rpm to correspond with the onset of peak torque of the 2.0 tdi engine.
The converter is also upgraded with furnace brazed turbine fins, thrust bearings are upgraded Torrington Needle units, upgraded lockup clutch seal and upgraded clutch lining”

This seems to me like it would be tighter.

They are great, you need not worry about anything they work on.

All transmissions they do are dyno tested as they should be, otherwise any defect could slip through.

I’m having them dyno it to see if it actually works. It was built by grafting an audi a4 rear output group and center differential onto the FWD GMR rendering it a 5hp19FLA. He changed some of the internal reduction gears to ensure everything would be spinning at the correct RPM on paper it will work but no idea if it will work running and driving.

Well It should be interesting, Was the transmission totally overhauled, seals, steels, friction plates with genuine zf parts?
