if you do a search you will find out, from what i understand it is an ecu mod that alllows the car to run more boost, and i think the ignnition timing is altered slightly, i am sure someone will correct me if i am wrong.

Rich is short for Richard Pruen (RPruen) the clever geezer who figured it all out. If you search through his threads you will find the whole story.
