Didnt put it on as it wouldnt of been accurate to where i usually get it done. but there were some monster VL turbos (all had problems on the dyno) ut they were pushing out decent figures.

As soon as i fix the ecu with some resistors and get the idle right ill dyno it and see how much difference the manual made

By chips do you mean chiptorque chips or powerchips? or the resistors i was talking about?

the resistors just helped the ECU idle and think that the "auto" was at the right temp.

it does help because the ecu now thinks its in DRIVE instead of PARK.

Regards to powerchips or chiptorque chips.....Chiptorqe dyno'd my car and said with the current set up (still auto) i would gain about 2 kw and it wouldnt be worth it, but the only way you can find out if it works is take it to them and they will tell you if it will suit or not.

i hope i didnt go off the track with all that......

They cost about $1.50 a serving at your local takeaway. I don't know about any extra fun, but chips are extra tasty with gravy poured over them.....
