No i got the 5 speed. Ya i haven't been able to do anything besides clean the car because I 've been working so darn much. Plus, I just got it back from he dealer because the intake boost sensor crapped out so the had to replace it.

That little Turbo can only move so much air and your injectors can only spit so much fuel out. I would say doing bothe mods will cause the impeller blades on the Turbo to crack and brake off. Or you will lean the motor out to much and youll get to see what your rod looks like outside of your block. Or it will cause the computer to shut down and go to some sort of safe mode.

I believe that HRC suggested not to do both.

Update on the mod. Wastegate rod has been turned up for over a week now and feeling effects of the ecm not likeing it. First couple days was great, just before shifts the guage would hit 19lbs. Not bad for an auto. But now the guage is surging back and forth (hunting) in the 10-15 range. I was told that this would happen, so not to worried bout it. Can readjust rod adn wait for Hahn or GM Stages.
