Picking up another 96 854R
I'm getting another 96 854R next week that has some modifications and I had some quick questions about them. The car I'm getting has an R manifold and 16T with a stock tune. How much does that affect daily drivability before I put the ARD ecu in or is it not big enough of a change to really affect anything?

The 16T makes no difference over a 15G on a stock tune, and neither does the manifold swap. The turbo might spool up a little quicker, but that's the only thing you'll see - you'll have the same boost limits as stock, same behavior and drivability as stock.

Fantastic. I figured there was no difference but wanted to make sure. I will post pictures once I get it.
