Installed VB Mod... OMFG!!!
This thing is awesome! I wish I would have purchased this sooner, it should have been one of my first mods. The shifts are very firm now, and it seems like the power just keeps flowing right on through to 4th. Feels very sporty now. 
Only complaint I have is that it really rocks the car during shifts. Feels like the motor mounts are taking a beating or something.
As for problems, only one small (kinda) one. I had almost finished, had the new VB bolted back up and everything, and then I noticed that there were two holes still without bolts. Now I'm no mechanic in the slightest, but I figured there should at least be bolts there. Sure enough, I looked at my stock VB, and one was for the accumulator plate (one without spring) and the other bolt was I guess just to hold it together
I'm wondering if Kashoggio, who I bought if from, took these out by accident.
So, it ended up turning a 2-3hr job into a 6hr nightmare because my arms were killing me trying to hold the VB up and get bolts in it the 2nd time.
But that doesn't matter now, it's in and it works, and more importantly nothing broke.

No kit that I'm aware of, but I highly recommend it now! I would probably like Maximmum Tunings more though because of their selection between the Stage 1 to Stage 3. I could tolerate just a little firmer.
