Yes, on the F10 they changed the navi (perfectly retrofittable). And the rest is worse :-D

I was just asking


And about the consuption? +5%, +10%, +20..?
I mean, at 90-100 MPH with cruise control on.

I suppose the same, not so much difference.

But I'd like to know what Roman thinks about it - they surely tested everything, consumption included.

MPG's will not be much different than stock around town. When you drive with a heavy foot it will be a little lower. This kit has been in development for almost two years. We will release it when it is 100% just like we have always done. The TVS blower makes very good HP / TQ

It will be released when we feel it is 100% ready. Right now I would say in the next few months.

TVS is a great blower but it is pretty quiet
