http://bit.ly/10xTBxp my mate had 1 of these he bought a stratagem dream cast I think that's what it was called. It's a little plug n play device that holds different maps on it. So you can turn this st into the same bhp as the rs if you fit a larger intercooler. It was a really good handling car and with these mods that cost around 600 was mentally quick
