question

i've got and auto turbo. when i'm driving the car right before it shifts into second revs high and quick then shifts. any ideas of what it might be. i'm running 6 psi. dont hardly drive the car hard. usally i drive pretty normal. shifts fine any other time.

It just may be that auto isn't shifting fast enough. Check Dezod's member rides gallery, he has a few videos of his auto turbo and from the looks of it, it does the same. Also PM Dezod and ask him. I'm pretty sure its normal and nothing to worry about.

6psi is high for an auto. I sure hope you have a good transmission oil cooler.

its probably just the amount of boost, and like what has been said the transmission isnt catching that quick. i heard Lucas quick fix transmission works well, but i only heard that from one auto turboed member...but he was running 8psi daily

yea i hope. its not always under boost though. it is worse under boost but kinda does it during normal driving. it does it in 2nd to 3rd not into second. my bad. first 1st to 2nd is nice but 2nd to 3rd it over revs and 3rd to 4th is smoth. i heard the lucas fix works well to. i probably will try it monday when i'm off from work. thanks guys
