Stocker is slipping at high boost and torque levels only .. So it's going to fail all together... Have Over 40,000 miles on stocker since tsb..
Not bad considering 676rwhp and 666 torque

I had the RXT installed a few months back... it grabs beautifully now. The break in period sucked though haha... good luck with the install!
