Thanks for the help, sorry im very new to this platform and this is my first manual so im still trying to figure it out. Should mention it was very cold yesterday and i didnt let the car or clutch warm up much. as for the gear indicators, I didnt really keep my eye on it but looking at the log from the ap it stayed in gear as the car cut power or clutch slipped. Also I see that i am getting -1.88 knock retard, Should i be worried by this?

Thanks for letting me know about this, I seem to have lost all boost pressure mid acceleration

Do you have an aftermarket FMIC? Did a charge pipe Blow off? These cars are pretty smart and if you lost boost you would see an EPC light for underboost.
I am running the stock intercooler, the only mods I have is a ie downpipe and awe track cat back

Traction control intervention. Turn it off next time.
Log wheel speed next time to see if its clutch slip or not.

You need an minimum of intake and either a FMIC, twin cooler or stock replacement to be stage II.. just want to let you know..
This as well.
I am Stage one APR High torque file on stock clutch for 17k.. there is no way the Southbend should be slipping.
The FMIC will come soon but I live in Canada soo don’t find a huge need for it as my iat sit around 65. As for traction control, to my knowledge it is fully off unless Cobb is overwritten it. I’m not sure how to turn it off in Cobb tho.

Should I powder coat my aluminum subframe for the northeast weather?

minimum? no
recommended? yes
Aluminum naturally forms a protective layer of aluminum oxide.. I had a professor that would complain every time the rust was cleaned off the aluminum shutters in my school....
Will it look better powder* coated? Probably... but from my limited material science knowledge, I would say it doesn't matter.

Judging by your sig you enjoy and take care of your car so my thinking is yes. You have other less expensive options to powder coating. Like maybe a simple clearcoat. Or I've used a product called Sharkhide for the aluminum on boats and have always been pleased with the results. Tho it did have to be reapplied every 5 yrs give or take but that's probably due to the environment. Just my .02

Does anyone here also own a 2020+ Atlas, specifically the Cross Sport? Looking at one, but can’t decide on the 2.0 or the 3.6. I will not be towing, this is for the lady and kids.
Wondering if the 2.0 is underpowered for that chassis.
