[quote=sundog;415533]well yeah but with the ecu with it has slightly higher power? dont matter anyway no intentions on keeping it standard![/quote] its not the ecu that makes it more powerful its the larger turbo mate that the v70r has

[quote=t5frankie;415536]its not the ecu that makes it more powerful its the larger turbo mate that the v70r has[/quote] Probably a bit of both, hardware alone without required mapping usually doesn't have the same effect

[quote=santa20;415557]Probably a bit of both, hardware alone without required mapping usually doesn't have the same effect[/quote] no mate still 10 psi on a v70r producing 250bhp with an 18t, or 240bhp at 10psi with a 16t, the t5 with 225bhp has a a boost increase of 1.3psi to make the t5-r with 240bhp with a 15g
