Comments
Boost remains same at 1.29 bar
More torque at bottom end has robbed me of top end due to increased backpressure, solution consider bigger turbo or cold air intake.

Nice!! Love em or hate em this one has some balls. Looks are subjective, but there is no denying it stops, handles and goes fantasticly.

Love the last pic with a rear wheel up in the air. Gotta be happy with a 50kw increase and nearly 400Nm @wheels. From the video I've seen it certainly made all the difference. Bravo

Great to see somebody else with EcuTek!!! Car looks awesome.
In the last picture is it me or is your rear left wheel off the ground and if so is this something you would try to rectify through suspension setup or is it an issue just due to the fact that you are going hard??
