Yes it is REALLY noticable, even my brother in law noticed it, and he had only been in it for 20 miles withe tek2 on just before we changed them over.

The smoothness has gone, the pick ups has gone, the extra boost has gone, the torgue has gone!!

The car feels as flat as a fart!!!!

Hurry october 19th

Mega, have you got one yet?

Compared to standard, it definately is a good buy, and i can say that cause i have now gone back to the standard ecu.

I would say the full decat and induction kit help it even more though

MORE POWER!!!! Waaahhhoooooo!!!!

I'm sure I'd notice a difference without Tek2.

To be honest though, does anyone REALLY need more than 250bhp ?!
Power/weight ratio is just under 200bhp/tonne as it is
I don't think I'll both with decat etc etc

250 BHP is not enough unless the car weighs under a ton IMHO. Scoobies have plenty of traction and ability to handle well over 250 BHP so it seems rude not to
