GTV Cup spec

[Martin K]

The GTV 'Cup' is quoted as having 230 bhp. Does anyone no if this is down to the ECU, or to larger intake runners, or both.

That's standard QV power.

[Martin K]

Yes, I realise that, but I was told it was down to the ECU having a different map, rather than down to the runners.

If you look at the Squadra site, the graphs say that the runners will give you 229 bhp at 6500 rpm. Their claims for their chip are 230 bhp at 6500 rpm. So, presumably, the 230 bhp is achievable in two ways - via the runners or via the ECU mapping. I just wondered which route was used on the GTV Cup engine.
