for a start you CANNOT get a bhp figure from an auto, only power at the wheels, cos you cannot get a coast down figure, 203whp sounds like a standard car to me mate, i went to hlm last week and my mate joolz had his 850r auto on the dyno for the first time he made 203whp and 300nms he then had it mapped and achieved 246whp and 400nms torque, our cars only lose around 25bhp via drag loss, 203whp is not a mapped car or you have something wrong mate, i have a rica amongst other things i got 311bhp 286 whp and 478nms torque but its a manual

I took the ECU apart and its got the main FLASH with RICA sticker stuck to it..

I have no turbo, vacum leaks..Fuel pump is brand new..and cant see anything wrong.. is there any other types of RICA that could have been set up onthe car ie an ECO one so something?

Horsepower figures seem low to me as well. My v70xc AWD (currently for sale on here) is making more power than that at the wheels. Remapped chip by Tectronics based in Bradford.

It may have a Rica sticker stuck to it but does it say 304 or 280 which is the lower bhp map for using 95ron fuel?

i took my car on a maha dyno same as that one and it said i had 100bhp drag loss lol and only 198whp, load of rubbish. with an auto its power at the wheels only you can calculate and 203 at the wheels is very low for a remapped 850r mate it should be 245 at the wheels, do you know what boost its running? where does the needle hit on the volvo boost gauge? I have a rica with no stickers at all
