The Dinan is all software (a re-flash) -- no chip, it took 30 minutes and was $2499 (20% discount). I can't believe the Hartge is 3800 Euros ($5300) -- WOW -- I don't think I would have done it if it cost that much. It was worth every penny of the $2499 though. It completely transforms the car into a monster --- I can't believe the torque!!!

IT IS actually a completely different pull in the car with the Hartge ECU.
You really feel the extra 90 hp and 70 Nm.

The ECU is a separate box. Plug and play. It´s mounted in series with the OEM ECU and can not be detected with the OBD.

With the Dinan, the torque is unbelievable even from idle before the turbos kick in. I can't believe you can get 96 more horsepower and 116 lbs/ft. of torque from just software.

Make that an extra "123 ft/lbs" of torque

You're right, I was thinking the OEM specs were 400/460 not 400/450.
Thanks.
