dangerous brain Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 For almost the same money you can now find the far superior 850R . Don't mistake this car for the T-5 or even the T5-R. Its way better specced from the factory and its engine management is way better. On paper its a few BHP more but thats not where the story ends. The normal T5's only run their max boost (and hence max power) for so many seconds before the ECU reigns it back in (bit like scramble mode on a boost controller) The R type manual is permanent power. Theres loads of other geeky stuff about them I can find out for you if you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
