    I know, but as it's a bit of an unknown tuning one of these and small issues keep popping up! All the T5 rules for what components hold what power don't apply when that power is 3000rpm lower down the Rev range lol. Hopefully the latest tune will be the one, less torque this time as 500nm at 2800rpm has a habit of busting things.
