Status of the CL

Hey guys its been a while since I've been here, just too busy with school. Anyhow i just recently picked up my car from the shop and they finally adjusted and tuned everything and the TCS and check engine lights no longer are a problem. But I can not seem to use my tiptronic cuz it starts to give me problems and the lights come back on again...not to mention the car goes into safe mode and just shuts off on me when i try to start it back up again. The car is supercharged and I am looking to further boost it with a 3.5 conversion, but I can not move forward unless I can keep the car running to use the tiptronic everyday without any problems. Friends in the area are telling me to get an independent fuel management system. I jus dun think i need to be spending the cash. Is there anyway to bypass this??? Can I fix it somehow??

WTF is a tiptronic?

What did the dealership do to correct the problem?.. did they tell you or just clear the codes and act like god?

u running the upgrade pulley?... is your IRMC disconnected?.R U hitting your max boost? where is your fuel pressure?.... have you taken a look at the plugs?

Me too

I just figured it was a common term used in the automobile market and even someone who drives stick would have heard of it
