Getting In Touch With BTS

I'm dying slowly!! I have the DP Tuner in hand, ordered the BTS valve body a couple weeks ago and can't seem to get ahold of them (called and left a message and emailed), I'm sure they are busy with the holidays like the rest of us. I want to install everything this weekend (Gauges also) but I'm not sure that I want to install the tuner without the valve body since it is set up for the valve body. Should I wait or can I just take it easy (Ha!) until I get it?

just take it easy, you can drive it but your shifts will be all mesed up, might be very harsh or very very soft, dont know how this goes, you wont blow the trans up that fast but if you can wait , than wait, . get the gauges in first , and prep everything for the tuner, this way you do your VB and just pop the chip in and you all set,
good luck
and im sure they took day or two for holidays. keep calling them

I was told not to install the DP untill I install the VB. Pretty much like Pete said.

OK!! I'm waiting but I don't have to like it. BTS got back to me and delivery is scheduled for next week so I won't have to wait that long. I'll install the gauges this weekend, that should keep my mind off it.

Happy New Year Everyone!
