How do you like the performance? How noticeable is the change in sporty driving, as opposed to flat-out racing? Feedback appreciated.

I have put the IPD ecu in a 94 850 turbo, and noticed a big differance (45 HP)! The power is progressive, low end a little weaker, but mid & high much better. It feels like a T5 wagon I drove once but faster!

I also just bought a 98 R AWD wagon and installed the IPD Power Pack (ecu, exhuast, filter, bushing) and noticed a big differance (about 60 HP). Again the low end is progressive, IPD tells me on the AWD it's to preserve the tranny converter, max power comes at 4,500 RPM.

You will notice a differance as well. With the manual tranny, there is no low end "holdback".
