Then I'll take you for a ride in mine and you'll want a turbo plus you'll be all confused about whether to keep the TIP or loose it

how much less power do you get from the tip compared to a manual AJ? is it a massive diff?

Thats not really comparable because there is only one HKS FTO!
id say maybe a loss of about max 5%... MAX
its one sweet car though, quiet and (somewhat) inconspicuous when it wants to be but drop it down a gear and hold on!

The abs light not TC
Also after going for a run in the car and thinking about the tip box, it will need a flush out and oil change.
Due to how light you where accelerating it holds 2nd to long.

ABS light still lights up constantly
Probably need to reset ecu? Anyway, I'll give it a go after dwayne get me the stepper and O2.
Aza, you reckon a flush out and oil change will help ya. Any general mechanic should be able to do that right?
