Well after a few months and few dollars I've got the chip in finally. First impressions are good. Shifts are tightened up a bit overall, and in auto the shift point is certainly higher. Also seems to go higher the further my foot is into the throttle. Shifting is more predictable and it doesn't seem to be searching around for the right gear as much, it would kind of jump back and forth between gears when driving easy around town before.
After all this, I do have an extra stock TCU which could be nice in the long run, although it's worth a good bit of cash. I would recommend having Hoppen do the solder work for sure as they don't charge a lot and are liable for it. My mech had a few problems, toasted some leads, and there went a $500 (used) TCU the first time around...
