And as you can see in the videos (Ole Fejes own ones) it works good, friends of mine has setups that are alike, paddel shifting and high performance diesels, http://mbturbo.com/new-722-6-gearbox-in-you-old-car/
the setup posibilities are huge also, both higher pressure when accelerating hard, aswell as setup smooth perfect shifts when cruicing. (al easy throu the software)
(you select with the button and "rate" the last shift, to soft or to hard, and the system adapts tries to adapt the shift-settings according to what throttle, speed and firmness of shift was executed last time)
and althou i havent tried it myself in my own cars, i have friends who have, both for dailies and for more performance oriented cars, the system (made by a Danish guy named Ole Fejer) works pretty darn good, its more or less the goto solution for the people wanting an automatic transmission with their superturbodiesel cars.
And i will further on get a kit for one of my cars as soon as i get the ECU up and running.
loads of people run the system with great success, turbobandit.com for example (the crazy tuning swedish-russian guy) runs one in his car now)
Our 2014 Jeep Wrangler uses the 722.6 as well. It's a tried and true workhorse....only real issues are conductor plate and the leaking connector, both of which are much cheaper than pulling the entire transmission for a 722.3 when reverse gives out.
I've driven with it in our old CLK320 til it was totaled, my E350 has it and our ML350 does, so I've had a total of 4 cars with it.
In your case it could be much easier than in mine. You already have the M104 engine, and those came with it. Hopefully you won't need the controller and can get all you need locally.
if you want power out of the gearbox you want a controller for ít anyhow id say, even if its in a car where you perhaps could get it to work with stock controller (since he is running a twin-turbo setup i guess it is atleast 10hp above stock )
adaptive gearbox setup, aswell as the ability to setup the shiftpoints and pressure of everything is nice.
Im looking to have 600hp + mated to one of those gearboxes, and hopefully north or near a 1000nm of torque (many years ahead)
but in that case its a must to have the controller, and when i talked to Ole it didnt seem like a problem to get an output from the gearbox controller that could tell the engine ECU when the gearbox is shifting and thus limiting the power to save the gearbox from unnecessary stress
