With the paddles, can you simply start using the paddles to make it switch to manual mode, and then it reverts back to auto if you don't use the paddles for a while?

Yep just click the + paddle it goes into manual mode, once you come to a complete stop it will revert back to auto. However will stay in manual mode if still accelerating until you turn it off by holding the + paddle.

They also work as expected when putting gear selector in manual mode this means they won't revert back to auto when at a complete stop.

Update:

I've purchased and installed a race chip pro 2 !!

I know there are lots of debates and thoughts and feelings with piggyback vs standard ecu flash , but I figured this was good bang for buck and have seen enough positive results to not worry about the car. Although obviously with anything engine related when pushing it more it will obviously diminish it's lifespan unless properly cared for.

Now onto the product cost me $450 ordered from some dudes in Sydney that are authorised resellers. They sent via express post. Super simple to install only plugs into boost pressure sensor. Couldn't really notice anything at first until but then I realised how wrong I was.

Take offs are alot quicker and lag is reduced significantly. Once the engine warms up you really feel it kick in at 3.5k revs where it just goes !

This projected figures is that it puts the engine Upton approx 178kw and 345ishnm of torque and boy can you feel it just pins you to your seat. It's not as monster like my friends tuned m135 but it's made the car so much more fun. You can hear engine note and intake more it's just good fun to drive.


Can I say my fuel economy is better ? Unsure really I keep hammering it because it's so much fun.

Now need to invest in new tyres....... And maybe a dump pipe
