Dinan used to claim 15HP gain (last year), why is it down to 5HP now?

Here's a working link:

The reason they now quote 5hp is that's for their software alone. Their old higher hp gain claim was for their software AND charcoal filter removal.

$1000 for a 5hp gain? That isn't even noticeable.

LOL


Just do some basic weight reduction and save yourself a grand.

Vmax removal is priceless though!! (And the torque remap is quite useful too)

I got mine done and definitely felt an improvment in the way the car drives. I would still recommend this to anyone.
