How much gains can I expect with the RPi/ESS tune? Does it affect your warranty?

thanks again Alberick

for the tune on a 530 I believe the gain is about 15hp or so.

well, you guys drive me crazy!

I want one too, but I'm a bit suspicious about soaking water and dirt from when you drive behind another car.
Maybe it's not a problem in cali,but here in europe,where it seems that spring is followed by fall, you get a lot of rain.
So if you drive behind a car, the scoop will enforce water and dirt to penetrate into your filter, right?


please give me a hint..

I dont believe it should be a problem. we've had customers who didnt have a problem with the local fires in the past and they lived in the areas where ashes were flying everywhere as well.
