Then I'll take you for a ride in mine and you'll want a turbo plus you'll be all confused about whether to keep the TIP or loose it :lol:

Thats not really comparable because there is only one HKS FTO!

id say maybe a loss of about max 5%... MAX

its one sweet car though, quiet and (somewhat) inconspicuous when it wants to be but drop it down a gear and hold on!

The abs light not TC :D

Also after going for a run in the car and thinking about the tip box, it will need a flush out and oil change.
Due to how light you where accelerating it holds 2nd to long.

ABS light still lights up constantly :? Probably need to reset ecu? Anyway, I'll give it a go after dwayne get me the stepper and O2.

Aza, you reckon a flush out and oil change will help ya. Any general mechanic should be able to do that right?
