not too sure!!

Have noticed quite abit of difference so far, even when the ecu would probably be re calibrating.

Idles a bit lower as well for some reason.

The computer was dated from the previous year than what was on the original computer.

It was interesting to note, that the ECONOMY switch now does not work.

Cannot get this to illuminate on the dash when switched, must have been turned off or not on the model that had the computer?
