Finally fitting the RS ECU and extra oil cooler to the car today looking forward to the 20-30% increase in mid range acceleration which should be interesting. Look out for a low flying 993TT............

Initial impressions are more torque in all gears the extra c500 rev limit makes hell of a difference to 1st and 2nd. Can't give any figures as I havent any, but I will look them up and report back so bear with me. From memory it knocks a couple of seconds of the 0-100mph to c10 secs and and a similar amount of the 60-130mph.

Gordon, where in the rev range is the biggest gain. I am very happy with the top end of the rev range on mine, as I very rarely have to venture there, but more torque at low and mid range for relaxed overtaking is where I would really want it.
The effect on fuel consumption would be of interest as I can usually squeeze out 400 miles on a full tank on the really long steady runs.
My local specialist is rebuilding a 993tt with hybrib turbos and twin plug heads and a few other specialist bits, expected power and torque around the 460 mark with no loss of drivability or reliabilty. All within the normal rev range, only downside is the £!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Improvements are that it kicks in a little earlier and just keeps going to over 7000rpm, with an extra over boost (1.0 bar) in the 4000rpm area I need to drive it a bit more to make sure! I'm presuming you are looking at overtaking in 4th and 5th by the comment which havent really tried as of yet!? I was averaging 17mpg beforehand, its now nearer 13mpg but thats not representative as I was blasting around like an idiot testing it, will report back post Ragley! I have no loss of drivability or reliabilty(hopefully)!

Sounds like someone who hasnt spent enough time on Rennlist!! and is wasting a lot of money as 450/460 is the cheap upgrade.. Could have saved a fortune with Kevin's stage two option. Twin spark plug upgrades and reworks is megabucks money and usually reserved for the people looking for at least 550bhp!? and new conrods etc.

Went to Janspeed saturday to see what the car was putting out.
Unfortunately the main man was on holiday and even with 10 straps holding the car down, at 4000 rpm it moved forward on the rollers by an inch! so they quite rightly aborted on 2 runs. They've promised us a free return day.
Anyway at 4200rpm it was showing at the wheels 384bhp and 494 lbs of torque.
So any of you past users of the RS ecu upgrade have you any figures from your tests!?
