the width (coldside to hotside) is actually more compact than the TD04 i had originally..

here's the rough comparison.

TD04 = 390CFM @ 14.7PSIG
VF39 = 435CFM @ 14.7PSIG

Is that the stock transmission or the Echo transmission? I read a post that you were contemplating the Echo trans. and didn't know if you installed it yet as I am curious on the difference in accelration times between the two on a boosted application.

0-60 time will be at least .5seconds faster in the echo because you only shift once. echo trans you can hit 65 in 2nd gear and almost 100 in 3rd.

That is an awesome thing to know! I now have something to think about because my internal build is coming up fast.

One last question, how are RPM's at highway speed in fifth gear?

i have another transmission in transit now, should have the car back together tomorrow afternoon, but unfortunately i'm losing my wonderfully tall gears that the ECHO transmission had. i'm gonna miss that trans
