All to do with aerodynamics and trying to get an air dam effect at the front & sides, to change airflow between top & bottom and getting the car to hug the ground....

Too early to say how they compare side by side but i dare say there is very little between them.
The green spools so well even on my 2ltr and comes on very strong. in 4th gear its making 1bar by approx 3200rpm and 1.5bar by 3700rpm.
Id go as far to say it spools smoother than the 20g and really feels like its doing the business. The torque comes on well and a run through 2nd,3rd and 4th brings on some big speeds that really rely on the big APs to haul you back down.
I gotta say i absolutely love it.

The green on mine makes 1.4 bar at 2900 now
Still some work to do on it to get it to spool a bit quicker though
