No the super downshift method would cause the same problem. This has been mentioned as well as other things to look out for in a pretty lengthy thread that I think M33 started like a "dos and donts" list. It is very informative and was started quite some time ago I believe.
People probably don't mention this everytime the cons of a supercharger are asked as it probably doesn't affect them and they know it won't affect most people. Not too many guys looking for a blower are going to be the ones using Auto mode. Also, as it has been mentioned before most people probably don't really care to keep bringing it up, especially with how minor of an issue it is for most. Not trying to come off as rude but the first rule is to search and read as many previous posts about a topic one is concerned about. For any question that comes up over and over again you can't expect every single piece of information from past posts to make it there.
To be honest if someone was asking me pros and cons of a blower it definitely would be one of the last things I would think of, if at all. |
Thanks for the reply...
I've not been able to find one thing about superchargers and DCT kickdown in manual mode on this forum until I saw this post.
That said, I use the kickdown feature all the time on the highway. To go from 7th to 3rd or 4th without kickdown takes forever and even with a supercharger, that's lame!
I'm totally over a supercharger because of this and it not liking auto mode. Which I don't even use. But if I'm paying 8k-16k for a blower, it better work with all of my cars features.
I was literally going to get a ESS kit until I found this thread. Bummed!
