The HPT is about 30bhp more than the LPT but uses the same ECU and everything as far as i'm aware so should be an easy bolt-on power gain.
Not sure how the Spanish insurers react to modified vehicles, with the HPT actuator it's visually the same as the LPT one so no need to tell them, with an MBC you'd be wise to tell them (in the UK at least) as it's visually obvious. |
My problem here will be finding the right terms for the parts, since I'm not a native spanish speaker. Even if I was...
I know what you're saying regarding the gauge and the insurance. Are there aftermarket actuators? Or is second hand the onlu option? I need to start looking for online shops that sell parts here in europe.
