Update on loss of Turbo Boost and check Transmission light

[Gregory OConnor]

Dan, I'm with you and still dont believe it is the AirFilter. The
third shop baced their diagnosis on the documented tasks of the other
shops. Its kinda a "well if they ruled out A and B then lets look at
C. It is always the last thing you do that corrects the problem, why
go any farther. Ground connections are just one link that are a
reasonable place for a problem. Ground wires and straps are less
likely and harder to detect.

Tom has a point also; aim high, it don't hurt to ask, squeeky wheel,
etc. A customer once asked for a refund on my labor so I just brought
their driveway back. He still was'nt happy.
