    No it is not bad . You actually gain a few hp. I've done 80'000 km with the mods on my car without any problems. No engine management light problems.

    Just remember that the software was upgraded according to these mods.

    They just released 95 octane here. The problem that we've got here in Pretoria / Johannesburg is that we are at a very high altitude above sea level and the low octane. If i go to drag meetings i mix do a 50/50 mix of 93 and 102 octane. Never did a dyno reading with the mix , but on the road it fly's.

    Beat a Audi S4 ( 265 kw ) over 1km on the dragstrip.
