[QUOTE="Geometry, post: 615980, member: 27637"] Hi doc, thanks for inviting. Not able to join. I've got event arranged this weekends. Hello there, Thank you for your advices. Before I purchase the power kit, I've asked the SA for the part list to be fitted in. I want to make sure there is an up-rated torque converter in the kit before I agreed to the upgrade. From my understanding, without the up-rated torque converter, the current torque converter will not be able to handle the extra power. The SA printed out the part list and pointed out to me that there is a torque converter in the list. Therefore, I agreed to purchase the upgrade. No up-rated TC fitted didn't cross my mind till your posting. Don't scare me... :eek: As jwah posted on 18-01-2012 01:45 AM, item number 6 as in the photo is the torque converter.
