[QUOTE="niceputera, post: 131483, member: 2213"] It was not putra, it was Satria Gti. Yes there was improvement. Basically the more u upgrade, the more potential power can be achieved - provided the mods are right. Piggyback/standalone ecu/chip is there to maximize the potential gain of your std/modified engine. Basically u can tune the air fuel ratio and ignition timing to the best setting to get the best result in terms of raw power ( max. power gain that can be seen on dyno) and response ( the way the power being delivered to the ground by the engine) - something that can best experince on the road while u drive it - which why sometime u can see a lower bhp car can overtake slightly higher bhp car ( provided everything is equal). Oh yea, my previous car put 160WHP and about 210NM on Links dyno but the engine was no more suitable to be used on the road coz cannot use aircond anymore. It was basically a semi race engine with all internal parts had been changed. I see high potential on M50tu engine. Still learning the BMW ecu part actually and to find a good tuner coz an ecu is only as good as the tuner. Sorry lo too long i guess. Rgds. [/QUOTE]
