Default BSR Stage 1 Conversion

Anyone got any experience of this?

Will I "feel" the difference 200 > 235 BHP , 323 > 400 nM torque in an automatic?

Will it affect the function of the APC or the auto box by any chance?

Is it easy to do the mod myself (air filter and ecu)?

the biggest difference you will see is in the wight of your wallet the auto transmission wont cope with the power increase very well thay are not really stronge enough for 200hp so an increase well only make it worse

And this is the reason why manual tranny 9k's cope MUCH better with chip & other tuning
