You are constantly in boost since the TB doesn't close. On top of not getting the correct power out of a boosted automatic.

Also on the A3 with A2 rocker arms.. i read the whole thread is sounds great and what not but i don't trust reliability especially for what you want to do. You can get the A3 to act as an A2 but then you run into reliability and price to get it to work correctly. You might as well just do an engine swap but since you have an automatic a3 you are kinda SOL unless you change it from an auto to a manual.

Tell "your friend" to sell the auto and buy a rsx-s.
