9ff also does a tip upgrade. Check them out.

 

i do not think that i must upgrade the whole gearbox ,, i just need the TC

anyone know how much it cost ??

 

I think 9FF send them to MKB

 

what is mkb swebsite ??

 

EVOMS has a TCU (transmission control unit) upgrade available. Essentially, the TCU upgrade allows the transmission to shift at a higher rpm (7000), increases the tq limits, and significantly decreases up and down shifting times.

This upgrade is done electronically, in the TCU itself.

i allready have the tcu upgrade in my car ,, i just need to upgrade my torque converter

 

I also have the TCU upgrade, it has nothing to do with power handling

 

yes i agree ,, it just make the rpm reach 7000

 

It actually helps modded cars to shift gear before hitting the rev limiter. I'm in a search for a broken/used 997 turbo tiptronic gearbox to send it over to MKB. Does anyone knows where i can get one in Europe?

 

i talked to them ,, they can modfiy the whole gearbox , but not the TC
