An aftermarket computer, however, might not "feel" like it gives a huge jump in power, because it lifts the entire curve.... expect anywhere from 4 to 10 (maybe more, depending on supporting mods) EVERYWHERE on the power curve - with improved fuel economy and a smoother power delivery to boot.
did you install it yourself?
if i install a new computer, and then decide later on i wanna turbo it, would i need to buy another computer?
how much kw do you think i would get? stock mines rated at about 80kw (flywheel, i presume)
