Great, I didnt know we had a rica software engineer (like what marco is, even though he's MTE) in the uk!! - where are they based and who is he?

you'll have to give me there details yingying as its always good to have an alternative to marco.

Chris, best thing to do about wanting to know the figures is to do a search. You will then get real info direct from owners as its never good to believe the seller. You will also be able to compare your car against others of the same age cond and get a better idea as age\cond will affect the results.

but if you want my view, around 270-280bhp for a good nick 850t5. virtually all chips give the same power and torque, its more the way the powers delivered that makes them different, for exmaple i have a rica ecu and find it more harsh than some of the MTE cars ive been in. so it comes down to what you want, some people like the rica and some the MTE - personal choice.
