This is your airbox Remove the sensor on top so you can move the box as much to the right as possible You will then see the sensor underneath [img]webkit-fake-url://fdbce6a6-284c-4e3d-8376-897afa0b1299/imagejpeg[/img]

So once you remove the sensor, you twist the airbox to the right? Its not visible otherwise? I guess the fittings have some give? Is the sensor visible in the picture you posted?

You will lift the box and it rotates yo the right. Immediately after you will see more of the fuel rail and in the middle is the sensor. YOU HAVE TO LIFT THE BOX. No other way. Pull up on the box front the front. Don’t worry you will not break it. I promise.

What kind of Dyno was used to measure the Stock C43's crank at 415hp? Just out of curiousity?

I am not calling shenanigans or anything. But that number seems so generous since Ive seen stock DYNO ranging anywhere from 260 290 to 322.

Dynapack. You can find details on our dyno setup and our processes at https://www.dinancars.com/dinan-university/. There is an article on that page on Dinan dynamometer testing.

From what I was told, the software is lifetime warrantied (meaning if they come out with any updates or you get a CEL that is software related they will take care of it). In addition to that, they offer a 2yr/25k mile motor warranty program for any AMR tuned vehicles.
feedback on performance of this Dinan piggyback anyone?

In all honesty, its not that big of a difference. Granted I drive in traffic 90% of the time so its hard for me to use its full potential. Also, i feel like the tune is moody where sometimes it feels really fast and sometimes sluggish. Its good to know that the warranty is there and I still wont go to a ECU tune even if it will be way faster. Not bad overall, but not amazing either. FYI I have a f...ed up sense of speed so it takes a lot to blow my mind.
