Maybe 10 to 15 ponies, a more useable power band and better throtle response. Fingers crossed. :lol:

Hey Ash,

You should be able to just set the ignition timing to 10 degrees, then go out for a driving and do a "store" when you come back, the link will figure out the ignition timing for you. The base NA map is pretty good, its when you put FI on the car that tuning gets tricky (unless you have a wideband O2 sensor of course.. ), the link will be able to use the stock O2 sensor when tuning an NA engine as it'll never get out of the sensors range.

No chance yet. Bloody work keeps getting in the way. Might get a spin this evening if the weather is good.

No. Different animal altogether. Your normal O2 sensor is narrowband (so only works between certain parameters), a wideband.. ehh.. doesn't..

MAP = Mass Air Pressure, replaces the AFM signal.
Yes, you will be needing a knock sensor.

All this stuff can be bought from FM plus the latest chip update.
Download the manual on their site too and read (then read again.. and again.. and again ;-) ).
