UPDATE!!!!
GOT THE NEW TRANNY IN...
As i'm all done, finally ready, everything good to go. I pull out of the shop in anticpation of how short these fking gears are. Licking my lips, I start to drive off.
After about 20 seconds, I start to think "man its just like the old tranny" when it hits me.
I got conned. The mother fucker who sold me the tranny made me drive 2 hours back and forth to get another EX tranny.
This blowback has been the last straw for people fucking me over with this car all because they want to make a quick buck.
Project's on hold, continuation date pending. Sorry, and GG to life.

If I recall, the EX trans has a bit shorter gears than the LX/DX, but not as dramatic as the Si gearing - did you check the trans code at all? Don't take this the wrong way, but you honestly didn't know it wasn't the right transmission till you drove the car after the install?

The trans code was not there, even the mechanic commented on it not being there. I just asumed nobody would try and fuck a guy that was driving 4 hours to go get it...
Ya, started driving, told myself "WTF feels like the old tranny" then it hit me lol...
Gonna be away from the project for while

Never dies...
So, after a long absence...i'm back, and I'm getting more goodies too boot.
New parts coming in:
Brand new, fresh rebuilt t25 (i'm going to be the first person to spool it)
new PLX wideband
annnnnnnnnnd
still working on that new (3rd fucking time) tranny
New question though...
I think I need a head gasket change before the summer hits, but I have no idea what part to buy for it? Do I get the d15b7 HG or the z6 HG? Any thoughts?
I feel like i'm starting all over again ahahha

There's a really good article on D-series.com about the replacement parts for the D15b. I'll try to remember to get a link for you when I get on my laptop. You could always poke around a bit on it too. There's a lot of good info on it.
I just ordered my D15b, D15b trans, and p08 ecu last night!

Congrats bro, keep at it! And get me that link... I'm also trying to figure out if I can order springs and retainers for the z6 and hope they'll hit the d15b. Work in progress... I might also switch out or a z6 in the future, who knows

So, got the P08 map chip, rev limiter (no mis shifts finally lol), car runs like a baby's bottom. It does have a wierd idle issue, I might take a video of it at a latter date. Other than that, the car pulls harder now than before, still waiting on a decent paycheck to get that SI tranny in.
Turbo's on its way here, gotta start buying the other parts for it)))))))

So...
dumbass in Michigan sent my turbo to BC instead of here...that's being worked out
I got sick of this long ass tranny, so i'm buying the SI tranny tonight and hopefully an install tomorrow. Other than that, nothing new to add. If anybody wants to chime in, I got a question.
What are the valve lash specs for the d15b? I can't find them anywhere...

Long time since an update
Bought the SI tranny, have $100's in parts waiting for my t25 annnnnnd...
Crashed it. Motor was untouched, need a new rad and steering box/pump, few hoses but the front in is completely totalled and doubt it will pass a safety.
So i'm looking at a Talon Tsi, thoughts/comments?
