Rich is the gut to talk to regarding the super mod, the one i can get done for you is the "standard" mod. rich remaps the ecu with a new map he has developed over many days of dyno testing!

I will talk to rich when i see him next and find out what is needed for the super mod and see what i can do (if i can do anything, as i belive he needs the "actual" car there to map to it's own caractoristics and not a general map)!

okie. got my map sensor and injectors ordered. has any body tryed this mod where you remove the 206 and 207 ohm resistors from the ecu and wire a potentiometer in and wind up the resistance to increase boost?is this the same as the rich mod?if not will it work with the rich mod?sounds pretty good.its possable to have a switch between the different resistors so you can run standard or increased boost.

the rich mod super is setup for your by richard at his place. He came to Matbat's when he did mine and Mat's years ago. it's a ecu wire extra wiring and totally diff mappings. expect it to cost a bit.
