So, you picked up about 41 horsepower?

That's a great value!

Yup, that's correct. It's noticeable. Of course with the extra power the car's suspension & brakes could use a upgrade

Christ, when will Dinan release it?

Is it blue tooth controlled?

What gas did you use (91 or 93), was the car set to S+ and was the Dinan chip set to race?

Also, can you drive around in the race setting daily? Is it safe or will the sport plus be enough?

Thanks!

All testing is done with 93 as that is what the majority of the country has access to for premium fuel.

The 3 lines show the Dinan unit in Stock (green line), Sport+ (blue line), and Race (red line). I would imagine the car was in S+ but the calibrator is not here to confirm today.

We recommend the Race setting only be run when using 93 octane fuel but there are plenty of folks that use it with 91 and report no ill effects.

It'll be a relatively quick turn. Doing some verification on a C43 first though to cover all our bases.

Most forums have an issue with price discussion in the general forum. Not sure how this one handles it so I wil err on the side of caution. The SPORT units though are all the same cost. I don't see this one being any different. Link to the 2.0T variant is here.

This has got to be the near ideal solution for many: cost effective and conservative, but powerful enough and flexible! Nice work, Dinan.

Doesn't even have a part number in the system yet. If I had to guess assuming the C43 stuff goes fine it will be available for sale Mid-March.

Directly from Dinan, no. If one of the Dinan dealers, distributors, etc wants to put something together through them then more power to them.
