If people want better shifting, instead of electronic voodoo spaghetti and multi-point dead chickens, you be better off writing emails to tuning companies to get them off their asses and release a reflash for our TCU. I'd pay lots of money to be able to reprogram my TCU.

I am an electrical engineer so I can confirm some of the points mentioned here. A stable and secure path to ground is always beneficial for an electronic circuit. High quality low resistance paths to ground ensure safer electrical operation and prevents any sort of spurious voltage spikes that can occur in signal transmission. High quality wires of any type will improve electrical signal integrity (less noisy signals). All wires have inductance and capacitive noise that degrades the signal. Grounding kits will: clean up the electrical signals feeding into sensors, reduce signal transmission delay, and ultimately lead to faster response times. The final result will be more stable electrical operation and some response time improvements. How much improvement gets translated to driver experience is questionable, however.

Does anyone know where the Current sensor is? Seems like the way -assuming you want to put a grounding kit in your car... and I do- to deal with any concern over the Current Sensor is to ground from the non-battery side of it instead of the negative terminal of the battery. Has anyone done this?

Just disconnect the line that runs from chassis to the negative battery terminal... which unfortunately is 99.5% of the reason to install a grounding kit. After months of running I can't say I've noticed any major changes to fuel economy but then I'm rarely running the car over 2 hours per drive. The other main purpose of this circuit is to prevent battery overcharging which can shorten battery life. I would think this condition would also be most prevalent with long runs and low drain.

I just disconnected the one leg running to the battery. Just move that connection to where the stock ground lead connects to the chassis. That way you get the benefits along with the car acting normal. The tranny was really the only difference I feel but well worth the little money for the kit. Just did a 2 week stint of the car sitting and all is well.
