I'm just wondering as new owners who have dyno'd there R56 MCS's have been consistently getting figures of around 195 bhp, on standard cars officially only supposed to be rated at 175 bhp.

So is this kit pretending to give you 192 bhp when the standard car already produces this, or is this kit giving you another 20 bhp on top of the claimed figure like the standard car dose, and is really giving you 212 bhp.

I guess we will only really find that out when someone has one fitted and gets it on the dyno....
