Thought I'd put up a small review so people know what to expect from Chris's latest performance mod.
I fitted one of these units yesterday, the installation is extremely simple, I managed it myself and the total installation, including removing the stock shifter took at the most 15 mins. Thats from having zero knowledge of the stock shifter unit, or knowing how to get to it!
With this unit you absolutely know its a short shifter, its alot tighter than the TRD unit. The gear changes or so tight together now compaired to the stock unit, and the feel of it feels alot more racey and the changes are very accurate, not like some reports I've heard about some other units.
As most of you know on here, my current setup is extermely laggy, 1.5bar around 5000rpm, on the 1/4mile I used to have to really work to keep the car on boost. I've tested the car and the changes are that fast, the car doesn't drop revs or even come off boost! I've never had traction issues in 3rd gear before in dry conditions, but changing from 2nd to 3rd now is keeping the car on enough boost to immediatly send 3rd into a spin, so thats a ton of power its carrying over.
My next outting at the 1/4mile is on Sunday, and from this one simple, cheap mod, I am definatly convinced its going to shave off quite a chunk of time from my current best, I'll post up my best time Sunday night for a comparison, current best is 13.4secs.
I hope this helps any buyers considering this unit.
