If you bought a Buick translator between Aug 14 and Aug 27 and you are having a problem where the call falls on its face during acceleration you need to return it to us right away. We recieved an out of spec part from a supplier that needs to be replaced. There is exactly 17 units out there like this, they are all Buick, (No other units have this problem, No gen 2 or Pros have this problem) they we only shipped during that time frame. If you are having a problem and it your invoice is dated before this you DO NOT have this problem. We are contacting all the customers that bought them and we will take care of the problem. We apologize for the problem and will do everything we can to take care of it in a timmly manner, the units actually bench test OK but when installed in a car we can verify the problem.

Works great I also bought the 4 inch Maf pipe with the integeral sensor.
Took me a bit to tune it just so but it was very easy to set up and adjust.

Yeah it is my first translator (first TR too) I'm really finding it fun they are a blast to drive and the avalible aftermarket products make it fun to wrench on as a hobby.
Especially with the resources found on this site as a guide.

It looks great, turbo seems to spool quicker and I got a couple pounds of extra boost with it. This could be from the translator too.

Works great, I do have an issue with low RPM it has stalled while coasting. Any Ideas what might cause this problem? I tried setting the translator lean for the base setting but it still seems to do it.

I couldn't wait till spring, installed the injectors and chip this seems to have cleared up my stalling issue (coasting at low rpm)
