The HPA fairy kept me busy this weekend ...

The package arrived in a screwed down, custom made wooden crate with subtle instructions ...

This unit simply blows my mind- so much electronics, pressure sensors, actuators etc all bathing in hot, trans fluid and still working.

The required oil change post install ... very cool the way it feeds against gravity. The drain hole is the fill hole as well.

And lastly, Bill's thoughts on the DSG transmission and the swap job :-)
