Yep, Seven Hills is their location. And I don't think most businesses would warranty a product in the situation you describe unfortunately. They don't build boxes AFAIK. For your own pieve of mind, I think it would be better to give me a yell when it comes time to needing a converter. I'm sure I can get a better than retail price for you. When you buy one, I'm sure you could pick it up if that's more convenient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It creates a load on the engine. When the stall speed is increased (by fin angle as I understand it), more revs are required before forward drive is achieved. The stall speed typically refers to the RPM required to start the drive wheels turning with the brake on. Remember though that when the brake is not on there is less load, so you need more rpm to get drive. A 2800rpm converter may flash to 3200 or more rpm depending on the load and gear you're in. You basically want to match the stall speed to your engines characteristics in order to take advantage of it's power band. If your donk doesn't start making good boost until 4000rpm, a suitable matched converter will allow the revs to rise to near 4000rpm, allowing your engine to come on full boost a lot quicker. I think I've covered the basics in laymen's terms With the standard turbo on our cars, getting near 3000rpm is what most people would consider ideal as the turbo will produce good boost by then and not be so loose as to rob power. Getting a converter that's too "loose" will start robbing you of power and as Lee (dalts) has reported, make you go backwards in terms of MPH and ET.
